Children love tactile experiences. This is a fun way to create the look of a true sand painting without having to buy colored sand. Not to mention, it’s less messy!

Pro tip: use acrylic or tempera to get full saturation and choose a rougher grain sandpaper for visible texture. For more art activities and prompts, visit our Creative Classroom.
