- Set up your area, sand art with kids can be messy so it's the perfect outside activity, or if you decided to complete your sand art inside we recommend laying down a or a picnic blanket to minimise clean up afterwards.
- Once your ready to start begin by using a toothpick to remove one of the pre cut sticker areas from the sand art card to reveal the sticky side underneath, we recommend starting with the outline of the design. Usually by demonstrating this step for the kids means that they can go on and complete the remainder of the card on their own.
- Using a spoon sprinkle coloured sand over the card and gently rub the sand into the exposed adhesive
- Once all the adhesive is covered with sand, tap the card over a tray or bowl to collect the excess sand and you'll be left with the first section of your card complete
- Continue on selecting different areas and colours of sand to complete your sand art picture card
- Once the card is complete place it in the display slip provided, seal and choose where to display your new work of art, we recommend the fridge.... or the pool room ;)
