If it's 'proud', then shouldn't you be taking away material, not adding it? In any case I would just have used a handful of earth, or sand if there's any about.
Steal the sand from a neighbour's kids sandpit:-)
But nobody sells 1/2 kg, so buy the 5kg size and keep the rest in the dry somewhere for the next time you need 1/2 kg. It won't go bad
I didn't buy 5kg, but only enough for the job in hand.
Well, yes, but that's a little bit Heath Robinson, isn't it? Plain sand or earth will wash out over time.

If he is really in ranchi WTF is he doing posting to uk.d-i-y?
Playpit sand is rounded particles to do least damage in eyes, and probably makes a rather weak mortar as a result.
