Create textural artworks & keepsakes that celebrate Australia’s wildlife with these Sand Art Australian Animal Sheets! These whimsical Sand Art Australian Animal Sheets designs were drawn by children which adds to the fun!

Sand Art is the process of pouring coloured sand on a sticky base to adhere it in place… essentially colouring in with sand. Sand art is so easy and achievable when using these Sand Art Australian Animal Sheets – as all the preparation has been done for you. Sand Art Australian Animal Sheets have been pre-printed and pre-cut, just peel back and decorate!

Sand Art is a popular craft activity for all ages as it teaches organisational and planning skills, it’s meditative and helps to develop fine motor skills.

3. Using the pointy end of a skewer or toothpick, carefully peel back to remove a piece of the design to expose the sticky base underneath.
4. Sprinkle sand onto the adhesive area, ensure it’s fully covered.
5. Lift and turn over template to remove excess sand. NB: Transfer excess sand to another container for reuse.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 to complete the design.

Sand Art Tips and Extension ideas

• Start with smaller areas and areas inside objects and shapes first. Complete background last.
• Marble the colours by lightly sprinkling one colour, then sprinkling another over the top to create multi coloured areas.
• Designs can be further adorned with crystals, jewels, sequins and other embellishments.
• Always work on a dry surface.
• Sand can be dispensed in easy pour nozzle bottles for easy use – see TQZ774 Empty Bottles with Nozzle 20mL 30s.
• Once complete, add a magnet or suction cap to display, or simply present on a Mini Wooden Easel Frame.
