Sand Art

Addilyn got this Cars sand art kit for Christmas. One morning while the boys were out doing manly things (going to Lowe's), Addilyn and I decided to break it out. Here she's posing with it. Very Vanna.
The first step is to get out all your supplies and play with them. Check.
Next you fill up the cars with sand, changing colors frequently to make a pretty design. Having never done sand art before, I was unaware that you're supposed to let the container set for a few minutes between each layer to settle. We simply shook the container a little. It ended up with a little muddling of the layers but we think it still looks great.The filled containers with stickers. Addilyn probably enjoyed the stickers as much as pouring the sand!
We had some extra sand so we filled a bottle to display as well. All-in-all it was a hit and a fun way to spend an hour or two.
