After each visit to the ocean, the Butterballs return with at least a bucketful of sea-sand( most of it brought home by 'accident') We decided to put the sand to good use by creating our own sandcastle sand-art. Material : A sandcastle color-in page, glue, sand and a few ocean-themed stickers. How to: * Outline the castle with glue (an adults help may be necessarily) * Sprinkle sand onto the picture (great fine motor skill practise!) * Dust off excess sand and allow to dry. * Decorate with stickers or seashells. The Butterballs loved this simple activity. "just like sprinkles!' exclaimed Ethan, while sprinkling sand over his picture. ;)
