A little game to make for a kids play party with basic craft materials!
Supplies:
Small jars (these are baby food)
½ lb ACTÍVA Colored sand bags in various colors
Tiny objects to search for: a paper clip, tack, kernel
of corn, a bead, penny, rubber band, you get the idea…
Spray paint
Paint the Lids

Place objects into jars and fill half way with sand. Shake.
Fill the Jar With More Sand

Fill with sand until it is approximately ¾” from the top---this leaves enough room for sand and objects to move about. When it doubt, test it to make sure you can find all the objects
Glue the Lid On

Now, to be safe, it’s a good idea to glue on the lids (or have someone super strong tighten them!)
Make a Game to Find the Objects

Make a list of all the tiny objects with check-boxes next to the list or have paper and pencil where party-goers can write down what they find.
