Fruit loop sand art

Isaac found a project in an old edition (Dec. 2010 to be exact) of his Highlights High Five magazine the he just HAD to do (now that I think about it, this is a food based project...so I'm not surprised with Isaac's urgency of having to do this particular project)! The project is called "Colorful Sprinkles" and is very much like the Cereal Sand Art tutorial found on the Momaroo website.

We had everything but the multicolored cereal on hand. A bag of Tootie Fruities cost a couple bucks and is still over half full. So, very cheap project!

We started off with both boys working on the project, but Eli got bored with the sorting process, so he chose not to continue with the project. Isaac, on the other hand, was very focused and worked hard on sorting for over an hour! Then he rolled and rolled each of the different colors. He even let Eli help in the rolling fun.

One by one, we added each of the six colors to the jar. And, wa-la! A jar full of colorful sprinkles! The directions in the magazine say that these are a "tasty topping for yogurt and a delicious gift"....however, after watching the process, I would not suggest putting these sprinkles in your food...eeeeww.  :)
