Outside Sand Activities

I will be giving you some fun activities to do with sand for the next few weeks.

Today, we will be making sand pictures. If it is a windy day, take a bucket of sand, some paper, and some drippy glue to the garage. If it is not a windy day, you can do it right by your sandbox. Have your child(ren) squeeze the glue to create designs, shapes, letters, words, animals, numbers, houses, etc... Take a pinch or a handful of sand and sprinkle it over the picture full of glue. Let the sand stay on the picture for a few minutes and dump the extra sand off into your bucket or sandbox. Teaching Tip: This is a great way to work on letter and number skills and spelling while they are outside having fun.
