Sand Numbers Craft

Here's a similar idea to making sandpaper numbers for a math craft.

Materials:

card stock
white glue
craft sand or beach sand
large tray

Directions:

Draw numbers in thick lines with white glue onto card stock.
Put into a tray and cover with sand. Pour of the excess. If you have colored sand you could use a different color for each number. Allow to dry.
If desired, cut numbers into flash cards or leave on the paper.  Kids trace the numbers with their fingers to teach stroke order.

Do the same thing with the letters of the alphabet.
