Today, the theme of Noah’s art class was “sand”. We read a book about sand and played games about sand and water. Then, we went outside to get messy! We made sand dough art and decorated it with sea shells and then did a drawing with glue that we added colored sand to so it has a 3-D effect. Here’s how we did it:

Sand Dough Art

1/8 cup glue
1/4 cup sand
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup flour + more to make a non-sticky dough texture
Decorations: seashell, river stones, buttons, whatever!

*This recipe makes enough for one child’s project, double or triple etc. depending on the number of children.

Mix all ingredients together, adding more flour until you have a nice non-sticky dough consistency. Roll your dough out into your desired shape (we made flat circles) and lay onto a piece of waxed paper. Decorate with seashells, river stones, buttons, etc. Let dry for a few days and you have a neat piece of art made by your little!
