Kinetic sand or slate?

From writing by the sea onwards, sand has always been a natural blackboard on which to leave drawings or messages.

You can replicate the same activity with kinetic sand, spreading it on a tray or on a cloth, in order to create a slate on which to write or draw, to then erase with the hand and start over again.
