|
Art Process:
1. With adult help, mix salt with powdered tempera paint in a container.
2. Put the colored salt into a salt shaker.
3. Make additional colors for other salt shakers.
4. Paint a design on the paper with a paintbrush dipped in white glue.
5. Shake the colored salt from the shaker on the glue design.
6. Shake excess salt onto the tray to be used again.
Variations:
• Use white beach sand instead of salt. Sand can be purchased in bags at a hardware store or brought home from the seashore or river.

T I P S
• Some children do better squeezing the white glue out of a glue bottle instead of painting it on the paper.
• Instead of shakers, younger children may control the colored salt better when a plastic tub is filled with about one inch of colored sand. The paper is placed into the tub. The artist can use hands to pour sand on the glue design. Pour extra sand back into the tub. This gives a thicker coloration and design.
