What is sand painting?

We are all familiar with so-called coloring books – books with various thematic pictures intended for coloring. Each of us has had at least one such creative book in our childhood. Today, coloring pictures continue to be one of the favorite activities of children. The novelty is that instead of using paints, markers, and pencils, children can add color to the images with the help of colored sand.

 

How does it work?

First, choose a picture you want to color, then you need to apply glue to the areas you want to color with the same shade. Then, sprinkle them with the colored sand and carefully spread it with a finger.

The remaining excess sand, which is left after filling in the selected area, is returned to the packet or poured into a bowl. It’s best to start with the darkest colors and move to the lighter ones.

When the picture is ready, it should be placed in a plastic office sleeve to prevent sand grains from falling off.

Drawing with sand is extremely fun and entertaining for children. It is an ideal way to spend more quality time with your children. Working with colored sand will develop their creativity, imagination, and sense of color.
