Instructions

Using the symbols chart, make your own design on a piece of paper. Start with a symbol in the centre, then add dividing lines to create four spaces surrounding it. Draw in symbols of your choice in each quarter in pencil.

Go over the first symbol with glue.
Sprinkle coloured sand mindfully onto the glue, tip any residue back into the bowl.
Then do the next symbol, being careful not mix colours (unless you want to).
