Prep Time:
No prep time needed.
Age Group:
4-10 years
What is needed:
I purchased sand art kits from Oriental trading.
Everyday Sand Art Picture Craft Kit (#IN-48-1515)
Plate or paper to catch extra sand
Cost:
$6.95 per kit
Mess Factor:
* - Extra sand can get all over, so you may need to vacuum after finishing the craft.
* = little to no mess
** = small amount of mess
*** = a significant amount of mess and cleanup
**** = very messy
Time:
Approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Instructions:
Follow the instruction that come with the craft kit.
1. Choose where each different color will go.
2. Peel off the protective paper where the first color will go.
3. Shake sand over exposed areas.
4. Shake excess sand onto plate or paper.
5. Continue this process for each color until the design is complete.
Comments:
The younger kids did this craft relatively easily. They did run out of sand quite fast and made more a mess than the older kids. The older kids got a little more bold and mixed colors and tried to make it more fun. I would recommend it for children aged 4 -10 years of age.
