________________________________

We've been playing in the sand around here...such beautiful weather!
Check out our
Sand Stars!


Using Plaster of Paris in the sand can be a lot of fun.
Last summer we made these sand hands.
 

Plaster in the sand is quite simple, just a little planning to do
the next time you go to the beach.


Pack a large ziploc of Plaster of Paris and a small ziploc of water in your beach bag.
(I used 2 cups plaster with 1 cup water.)
I used a glass star dish I found at the Dollar Store, but any shape dish or mold will work.

On moist, flat sand, (you may need to add water to make sand moist)
press mold into the sand about 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep.


Using shells, rocks, sticks, etc. fill the inside shape.


Ask your adorable nephew to help you!


When your shape is filled with treasures, pour the water into the plaster ziploc.
Squish the bag until mixed.


Pour plaster into your shape.  We added a stick 'wand' to this one.

Let the plaster sit for an hour or more, then dig it up with your fingers.


Brush off the loose sand and display.
