How to get Aqua Sand out of hair?

How to get Aqua Sand out of hair?
Playing with Aqua sand here was all fun and games until the little one to the right, took a cup and poured Aqua sand and water on his head.  What a nightmare?  The sand harden at the scalp, as it would in water.  On the package it says nothing about staying clear of hair only carpets.
Considering carpets can be much like hair, Now I could see why.
Not sure on which part of this process worked but these are steps I took to get the harden sand mixture out of his hair.
1. Frantically washed his hair about 10 times.
2. Placed conditioner on hair because the sand seemed to have made it very dry.
from this the sand turned white or clear like 
3.Rinsed and rinsed and rinsed until he couldn't take it any more.
4. Much came out just from steps 1-3
Allowed to dry and I sectioned his hair off and combed through to the roots and brushed out any remaining sand mixture.  

It you have found yourself, not being able to get Aqua sand out of hair please share your experience below to help others.
Parents you have been warned.

Easy Homemade Finger Paint great for Toddlers

Homemade Finger Paint Recipe Great for Toddlers.  

The things you will need:
small jars or containers
1 cup flour 
2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon sugar
Coloring:  food coloring
 
 Here I used old baby food jars to store our paint. This time I started off with 5. 

 Combine all ingredients in saucepan and mix on medium heat until a smooth liquid. 


 To get an even smoother texture whisk the mixture before placing into your containers.
 Once in the jars, place a few drops of food coloring.  Cap and shake to build your colors.  We love the count down and shake for the magic color.  Store remaining paint in the refrigerator. 

 Finger painting wasn't his thing so we used q-tips as paint brushes. :)
