Salt Art

I found a great website called No Time for Flashcards that has all kinds of fun, inexpensive things to do with kids. One of the things they talked about was salt art. I've done this before at fairs with colored sand, and the salt was just as easy. Basically you just spoon some colored salt into a container, then tap it flat, then add another color, and do the same thing.

Samuel had a great time filling up containers with different colored salt (and if you look carefully, you can find Lightning McQueen enjoying salt art, too.)





Here are his finished creations:
