Painting with Sand
Heavenly Father paints beautiful scenes with the shifting dunes of desert sand. You can paint with sand, too. You will need: a sheet of paper, a bottle of glue, and sand of several colors. You can find colored sand in nature, or you can mix sand with powdered poster paint for a brighter look.
-
Cover the paper with glue.
-
Carefully drizzle one color of sand after another onto the glue to form a picture or design. Or you can squeeze glue onto the paper in pictures or patterns, then pour sand over the glue.
-
Let the painting dry, then pour off any loose sand.
