She really enjoyed the Native American "sand painting" project. We took salt and added food coloring to it to make 6 different colors. She sketched a design and painted over it with thinned out glue then sprinkled the salt on top to make the painting. If we were doing the craft again, we would color the salt the day before to give it plenty of time to dry. It was still damp and clumpy when she tried to use it. It worked but not as neatly as she would have liked.
The other craft was to make an "indian blanket". She drew a center line on the "blanket" then drew her designs on the top half and mirrored them on the bottom half to make a symmetrical "blanket".
