beach chick Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 this is probably a really weird question, but I have some spare playsand the girls would like - but it's soaking wet! am experimenting with a couple of seed trays full of it in the laundry room, but it doesnt seem to want to dry out... any ideas o clever omleteers?

jellykelly Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Baking tray in the oven on a low heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yep - in a baking tray in the oven after the dinner finished cooking. These days I look for playsand that's been kept under cover - why do some garden centres keep playsand open to the elements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlettohara Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I dry mine in the sun (sun? what sun?) in a large shallow trug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneyolktoanother Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 that's a great idea i am going to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaloo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I had the same thing (I bought the play sand, left it outside and the heavens opened....) but I just put it in a big shallow container and kept it in the conservatory until dry, then gave it to the girls. The stuff at the bottom was a little damp but they didn't seem to notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlettohara Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 They don't mind it a bit damp, mine like digging in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole kate Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I use kiln dried sand from wickes it is cheaper than playsand but left to the elements it still gets wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
