A method of making a soil composition involves continuously mixing sand and plasticizer in an agitation mixer. The sand becomes coated with the plasticizer, whereupon a quantity of clay is then added, followed by an additional portion of the plasticizer. The sand particles coated with the plasticizer become coated with the clay. Coloring pigments are added and mixed thereafter. As soon as complete mixing takes place, the coated sand particles can be immediately transferred from the mixer to suitable packaging. The ingredients are added in the following proportions by weight: sand 50-70%; clay 10-40%; plasticizer 0.5-5.0%; water 5-20%; and coloring pigment 1-5%.
