Most kids who visit the beach build sandcastles in some form or another. Whether they are simple moundsor complexsand art, playing with sand is fun for kids of all ages. And then there are sand artists, who create amazing works of art with the simplest materials.
However, some materials are still better than others. First of all, it’s important to get the exact mix of sand and water right. The sand won’t stickwithout enough water, but if there’s too much, it will just turn to mud. Also, not all sand is the same. Some beach sand is made up ofsmooth, round grains. These usually do not stick together. The perfect sand for sand art is a mix of large and small grains that will continue to hold together even after the sand has dried out6.
In recent years, sand art has really taken off. More and more people are enjoying this activity. Some artists take it very seriously. They want to be the best and present their work at festivals on beaches around the world.
