One of the hardest sand sculpture builds was in 2007 when B-Crafty and her crew created “Sand Ratatouille” (along with an egg in a skillet.) The difficulty came in trying sculpt the standing figure. The painted shells and pink ball added some great touches as B-Crafty’s group captured 2nd place in the OCNJ contest.
Issue #143
Occasion: Beach Time
Category: Sand Sculpting
Materials Needed:
- Sandy beach
- Bucket and shovel
- Yellow colored Jell-O
- Flour
- Painted shells for the eyes
- Pink ball for nose
- Imagination
Instructions:
Start by filling a large trash can (with the bottom cut out) with sand and water. Once the can is filled lift it off. The carving of “Sand Ratatouille” can then begin. While that is taking place, the others in your group can begin the skillet and egg. Shape the egg first then build the skillet sides around it. Color the egg yolk with the yellow
Jell-O and use the flour for the white of the egg.
