Chalk Salt Painting

I thought I would do coloured sand painting but our sand is a little too dark and a little too gritty.  
Not the nice white beach sand.  
So I substituted salt and the children grate sidewalk chalk to add the colour.
 
After mixing the chalk dust into the salt the painting began.
We used diluted white glue for the liquid to adhere the coloured salt to the paper.
This little girl used the grater to spread the coloured salt on her paper.
I thought it was inventive.
There were a few that just liked the feel of the salt.
It was a busy table with wonderful results.
