Sand Designs

Materials

  • Sand
  • Powdered tempera paint
  • Glue
  • Spoons
  • Baby food jars with lids

Mix the powdered paint in with the sand to make several different colored sands. Have the children spoon in layers of sand in their baby food jars. Glue the lids to stop them from spilling.

For younger children, use salt with a drop of two of food coloring instead of paint and sand mixture.
