Fun Craft

Keira and I have been doing lots of crafts lately. This was an especially fun one. Take some colored sand (can be purchased anywhere - I found it at Wal-Mart for about $5 for 6 different colors) and put it in salt and pepper shakers. Cover a little over half the holes in the shakers with tape, otherwise the sand will come out too quickly. Spread out contact paper on flat surface and let the kids design a sand "painting". I cut the middle out of pieces of construction paper to frame the contact paper. Once the kids are done, shake off the extra sand in the trash and place another sheet of contact paper over it to seal. Keira made 5 or 6 pictures this day and we still have loads of sand left over!
