A wily pirate, a magical wizard and a fantasy castle are just three scenes of more than 50 images in ARTBEAT’s Creative SandAdventures—the award-winning, no-mess remake of the family perennial “paint by numbers.” Young artists easily create textured art on adhesive boards by applying their choice of 12 brilliant rainbow-hued sands, colored jewels or stick-on shapes to an ever-expanding collection of entertaining prescored pictures. Kids learn new art techniques while being rewarded with original designs worthy of framing or giving as gifts. Kits contain sands, jewels and shapes and two canvases as well as easy-to-follow instructions. Creative Sand Adventures received national recognition for excellence by the iParenting Media Awards.
