Home made colored sand

I have been wanting to make some color sand projects with my son, cause it brings back great memories as a child. We always made these with my mom or when we went to fairs.

So the other day I went into the craft store to get some and couldn't believe the price of colored sand. I didn't buy any and went home alittle sad, until I was out with my son drawing with colored chalk and it kept rubbing off on my hands and a light went off....lol.

After we were done I came inside and got some salt and colored chalk and we made our own....very easy and cheap.

Materials:
paper or we used wax paper
colored chalk......pack of 4 in the $1. section at Target
salt.... $0.34 at Wal-Mart 27oz bottle

Fun idea to decorate chalkboard

I found this bargain chalkboard at a second hand store ($2.90) and thought hey that would be great to have J practice writing, one side was chalkboard and other side was dry erase. So I got out the stickers and had J help decorate. He thought that was the coolest thing mom letting him help, like he was doing something new. Kids are too funny sometimes. Simple, easy and they are learning why doing.

Alphabet/Shape chalk fun

Great way for your kids to learn their letter, numbers or shapes with fun learning. You draw and have them trace with another color.
