What you'll need:

How to make it:

• Give each child a piece of construction paper, and allow them to draw a
  picture or write words with the glue. Make sure that they do not put globs
  of glue in any one spot.
• Before the glue dries take the picture over to dry sand and with your
  hand pour sand onto the glue.
• Let it sit for a few minutes and then shake off the excess sand.
• Let it dry flat for about a half an hour depending on how much glue was
  used.

Tips:

This can also be done with colored sand, but, for those on a budget, regular sand works just as well.
