What you'll need:
- Construction paper
- Glue
- Sand
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.
