SAND PAINTING

Supplies Needed:

-Art paper paint brush (Pox 1-inch width)

-Colored sand (several shades)

-Coffee cans with lids

-Glue pencil

Put a couple of inches of colored sand in each can, depending on how many colors you are using. With a sharp object, pierce numerous holes in the lids of the coffee cans and put them back on the cans. Then have the child draw a design on the paper. Using white glue and the paint brush, the child should trace over the design he has drawn, making sure he completely fills in his design with the glue. While the glue is still wet, let the child pick the colors he wants and shake the coffee can over his picture. Shake the excess sand into a shoebox lid, and then onto a newspaper. If he used one color, roll the newspaper into a cone shape and return the sand into the can for another time. If he mixed colors, collect this sand and keep one can of multi-color sand for use later. Cans may be labeled with masking tape denoting the colors.
