Salt art

There is nothing more exciting when your a teacher than 

getting a bag of donations! Especially art donations!

In my bag of goodies I found  nice sturdy vehicle

 shapes. My kiddos had lots of fun decorating them with glue 

and colored salt.  Salt is cheap and easy to color. 

Just pour it in a bowl, add some Wilton color paste, stir and 

let it dry. I  color my salt the day ahead. The dollar store

 has these small  metal cake pans. They make a great work station

 for messy art projects. I covered  the vehicles with white school

 glue and the kids used their Q-tips to spread glue all over 

their vehicle shapes. Then they got busy picking their

 favorite colors of salt for their favorite vehicle. 

We had a rainbow assortment of cars, planes, trains and boats.
