Sand and leaves

Our local Art Center hosts Family Days a couple times a year. After eight years in the neighborhood we finally made it to one this weekend, and I'm so glad we did! Kicking myself that we've never been before, too...

One of the activities was to draw with glue and then cover the glue with colored sands. If the kids wanted to they could also decorate with leaves & bits found in the Center's gardens.

Maggie made a tree and painstakingly added small leaves one-by one to the branches.

Bjørn on the other hand, made a psychedelic spiral tree in rainbow colors.

The next time we head out to the beach I'm thinking this will be a fun project to do with shells, seaweed, and whatever little bits we find along the shore to make a sea-side keepsake.

My sisters kids did this for years as well in their neighborhood but around here we don't have it offered...I'm so jealous. Love the creations...could you share what everything was done and the supplies needed possibly for us to try at home too? thanks
