It would be our equivalent of the virtual pet. It really doesn't do much. It sits and keeps you company. But, one thing is for sure.... they are always super cute.

It brings in both the creative and a sensory stimulation that is not always there in a painting craft. In addition, the finished pieces have a 3D-effect to them and it looks amazing under the glass of a frame. My personal favorite is to use blue, white and silver, since the children often create pictures that resemble beautiful ocean scenes.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2009/07/painting-with-sand-a-fun-kids-crafts-activity/feed/ 0
