Here is an activity that combines art and sand. Of course, you can do the business anywhere; we have experienced it within our area with the sandbox, where the primary material for this activity was abundant: sand! It also made cleaning really easy. THE ART OF DRAWING WITH SAND

Here is the list of everything you need for this activity:

-sand

– cardboard or stiff paper (dark colors will make the sand stand out better)

-glue

-a pencil.

1. Draw a design on the cardboard.2. Go over all the lines with glue (regular vinyl glue is fine). This is a great practice for fine motor control!
3. Sprinkle the wet glue with sand. (We made a funnel out of a square piece of paper for a more controlled application of the sand.)4. Shake off excess sand.The masterpiece is finished!

Make sure you let the glue dry completely first to prevent the design from getting damaged. Thread a string or thick thread through the holes (pre-drilled) to hang it and let the little artist take home the sand artwork or create a space to display it in your setting.
