Sand Castings Materials: Sand Plaster of Paris Water Plastic Spoon Plastic Cup or Bowl for Mixing Materials String or Wire - Cut into 2" Pieces Shells and or Small Rocks

1. Create a work area either in the sand - clearing the top sand using a pie pan or tray.
   The sand needs to be slightly damp (not soaked).
2. Lay out the design prior to mixing the plaster. Design should be at least ½" to 1" deep
   for best results. Hands and feet are easy for a toddler or really any age to do.
3. Check depth of the design; if it is too thin, the plaster mold will surely crack apart;
   if too thick, the plaster won't dry.
4. Follow directions for mixing the plaster. Mix with water in plastic cup/bowl with a
   plastic spoon. Mixture should not be too thick, neither too soupy.
5. Slowly pour the mixture into the design/mold.
6. Allow to dry for a few minutes before inserting the string. If you choose to use wire,
   form it into a loop for wall hanging.
7. Allow casting to dry thoroughly.
8. Check it within 30 minutes before handling.
