Click through the slideshow and follow the directions to make your sand village.
Add Sand
Carefully pour the sand into your plastic bin. Break up the sand and mix it together so that it covers the bottom of your bin.
Add Nature Items
Start adding natural items to your bin. You can add rocks, small flowers, sticks, or anything else that you find. Try to make a landscape where people or animals might live.
Add in Characters
Use small figurines to create characters for your village. You can use any toys that you would like. You can also add other objects to make different areas, like water (a blue lid or bowl) or grass (a green plate). Be creative with what you find.
Play!
Create a story about the characters that live in your sand village. What are their names, and what do they do? Have fun playing and creating stories for your village!
Set up your finished village and send a picture to your teacher. If you chose to use a plastic bin with a lid, simply close up the bin and put it away until you are ready to play with it again!
