“Help me do it myself!” – Maria Montessori

General information:

Always work on a table and place your working hand on it
Only work with the pricker
→ Never remove adhesive film parts with fingernails or by bending
→ Otherwise the adhesive film will be permanently damaged
Provide wastepaper baskets and trays if necessary
exercises fine motor skills, concentration & color understanding

1. Remove contours (if any)
→ Sprinkle with black sand (contrast)
2. Work on surfaces from the inside out
→ Sprinkle with colored sand
→ Tip: Place the template in a sand bowl and carefully sprinkle sand over it
3. After each step:
→ Tap the template vigorously from the back (excess sand)
4. Don't forget the background

→ Sprinkle different colored sand with your fingers one after the other to create color gradients (salt scattering technique)
→ Tear off the protective film piece by piece or carefully fold it

For each color:
→ A large bowl + 1 spoon if necessary
No additional fixation necessary
→ Do not laminate! (Does not stick to the sand)
→ Instead: Frame - protects against dust and scratches
For groups:
→ Work stationary, i.e. set up a standing work table with wastepaper baskets for removing the foil parts and one for the bowls of colored sand (place these at a distance from each other, with similar colors of sand next to each other.
First explain, then craft:
→ Inform children first before they start, otherwise they will no longer listen

Small parts – choking hazard, not suitable for small children! Supervise children only.
Colored sand = non-toxic, without hazardous substances
Use the pricking device carefully – at your own risk
