Equipment:
- PaperÂ
- Coloured Chalk (in your Activity Bag)
- Salt (in your Activity Bag)
- Small Glass Jars (in your Activity Bag) – I highly recommend using glass as the chalk dust sticks less.
Step 1:
Gather your materials.
Step 2:
Pour salt on a piece of paper, enough to make a layer about half a centimeter thick in your chosen container. This is tactilely so wonderful – let your kids play with it – or design with it.
Step 3:
Take your chosen chalk colour and rub the chalk back and forth across the salt until you get the desired colour saturation.
Step 4:
Carefully, pour a layer of coloured salt into the container.
Step 5:
Use the opposite side or a new piece of the paper for a new color (these pages can be used for chalk drawings after the project is over).
Step 6:
Pour layers at angles and around the jar to get interesting strata. You can rotate the jar while pouring to achieve this.
Step 7:
 Repeat the process with new colours until the jar is completely full. Take care not to shake the rainbow salt jar as this will mix the layers up = brown salt, no fun.  Â
Add lid and Voila!
Step 8:
Take a moment to relish in the happy feeling you get making something and appreciate the colours and layers and how they look.
Display your rainbow salt jar.
