I love Moon Sand. It's very calming to me
I was just thinking I could use a container of that on my desk.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIESE!!! Your day sounds pretty dreamy so far!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, Liese!!!

msbelle:
Any chance that people have moon sand they no longer want? or stress balls? or koosh-like balls?
yes. Want me to send some stuff?
I'd also recommend time spent in the ball pit and bouncing. All of that is good for sensory integration.
Also, [link] is a great link for interesting stuff.

Because books.
Happy birthday, Liese! Wishing you cake and continued happy!
I play with it with my kids and always get a kick out of making it.
We used to have Play-Doh nights when the boys were little, all four of us, and it was SO relaxing. All of Sara's is dried out or mixed into various rainbow shades right now, so maybe we'll try making some moon sand, too.

Calli-
That episode of Buffy with the invisible girl? It didn't really resonate because being invisible was the high point of middle-school for me.
Yeah. There were about four years where, in general, it was a good day if nobody spoke to me. And several kids had it worse than I did. I prefer not to think about it, but I don’t think “teasing” and “bullying” are adequate words.

I was never bullied. I had a rough 5th grade year where no one talked to me, but I consider that more psychological warfare. It goes a long way towards my being okay with people not liking me, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have never heard of this moon sand business. Interesting.
I think I just missed a meeting by mistake. I thought he cancelled today. Oops. And he totally knows I'm here too, because I walked past him on the way in. Double oops.
Happy birthday, Liese!

This. It was much more a factor in my childhood and my lingering issues thereof than any outright bullying.

In the process of making moon sand, you could play with cornstarch goo for a while [link]
