Let's Create!
-
For this art activity your child(ren) will make a sand castle. There are two options for doing this (one indoor and one outdoor).
-
Option one (preferred): Go to the beach (always a great field trip) or use a sandbox and let your children build a sandcastle! Naturally, at the beach they can use the water to get the sand wet, in a sandbox you may need to hose the sand down (if it is not wet it won’t pack together in the buckets to make the castle).
-
Have your children fill various buckets with sand and carefully turn them over. Let them be creative in how they create their castle. Take a picture!
-
-
Option two: Give your child(ren) various sized boxes and let them stack them in order to build a “sand castle.” Then help them glue or tape them together. To finish it off, glue a bunch of sand on it!
