His trip to the beach was a blast and got up a little sand, while you were there. What can you do? The color is what! Then you can use for any boat you want and be very special because it is a memory.

Supply List:

  • Fine sand
  • Food coloring
  • Water
  • Paper towels
  • Paper molds
  • Plastic spoons

Neat Tip:
To facilitate cleaning, distribution of newspapers on the surface will work. When you're finished, you can fold the paper and throw it.

That's what they do:

  • Fill molds paper half filled with sand.
  • Add enough water to cover the sand.
  • Add food coloring. (It may take a little food coloring, depending on color you want. Start with a little, then add more to get the color you want.)
  • Stir with a plastic spoon.
  • Wait 30 minutes. It takes a little sand color. Be patient!
  • Drain water.
  • Place paper towels on the paper and then distributed on paper towels on top of the newspaper.
  • Spread the sand and let it dry completely.

What can it be used?

You can use your sand to the large amount of trades. Try:

  • You can paste the snails eyes were bulging and elongated on sand color.
  • The sand can be dyed different colors and layer in a jar of baby food.
  • You can put a little sand in the bottom of a jar of baby food, add water and blue dye and a falling shell. Now you have your own ocean in a bottle!
