Moms Are Grinding Cheerios In Blenders To Make Edible Sand For Their Kids

There’s an unexplainable gravitational pull that draws your kid’s handful of sand right into their mouth. ‘Cause let’s be honest, kids would live on any non-edible, “don’t-touch-it,” and plain dangerous diet if they could.

So imagine what a relief came over parents when one mom shared an “edible sand” recipe on her TikTok. Hailed as simply “genius,” the sand takes a minute to make and all you need are some Cheerios and a blender. Elle Anna Christine posted the TikTok showing her blending the Cheerios and laying them all out on a tray. She then added some beach-themed toys as decoration. The video was viewed a whopping 2.6M times and has since been bouncing around from one mom to another. And it feels like summertime has come, if not for you, then at least for your little one.
