Activities: Hidden Messages and Coloured Sands
13 April 20102 Comments
Here’s one activity idea we did a few days ago.
We had some leftover ‘coloured’ sands at home.
And so we thought it’d interesting for Anya to create some ‘hidden messages’ (using her glue stick) on a piece of paper, and have Vai (and me!) ‘find out’ what the messages were by sprinkling coloured sand on it.
This was what Anya drew for Vai to discover.
And this was her ‘hidden’ message for me *smile*
You can also draw something with a glue stick and have your kids find out what it is using coloured sands.
It’s like, slowly uncovering a little surprise!
Try it … it’s fun!

Thanks!
A friend of mine also shared that there’s another way of doing this ‘hidden message’ idea:
Write / draw using vinegar or lime juice on a piece of paper, and then ‘iron’ the paper to make the drawing / text appear!
note: obviously the ironing needs to be done by the adult 🙂
Have yet to try it out myself though!
A very good idea indeed.
