Sand (salt) Art!


One of my daughters and I did this as a parent/child activity when she was in Pre-K. It was so much fun that we have done it at home just for the fun of it and even done it at a birthday party she had for a party favor!-Their very own art! All you need is a bowl, salt, colored chalk, and a container to pour it into.

1st pour your desired amount of salt into a bowl and pick your desired color of chalk. Take the chalk and stir the salt until it's the color you want. The longer you stir the salt the darker the color will be. It goes a bit faster if you kind of rub the salt against the bowl with the chalk.

Make as many colors as you want and create a masterpiece your child will be proud of. My kids sand art are in the living room displayed on a shelf. :-) Enjoy!
