Materials Needed:
- Sand
- Food Coloring
- Glass or Metal Bowl (you can also use paper cups, paper bowls, or baggie)
Instructions:
Use one bowl for each color you want to make. Place the desired amount of sand in the bowl. Pour on enough water to barely cover the sand, then add a generous amount of food coloring to each
container. Stir and set the bowl aside and let it sit until it is the desired color (this can take a while). Once the sand has reached the desired color, empty out the extra water, and pour the sand onto paper towels to dry.
Suggestions from Anna Ward: Anna suggests using salt and colored chalk to create colored sand masterpieces. She suggests rubbing the side of the chalk against the salt until it is the desired colored.
