Rainbow Salt Art Jar

This project makes for a good centerpiece with Spring – so many pretty pastels.

Rainbow Salt Jar

Supplies:

Butcher Paper

Colored Chalk

Salt

Small Jars

Instructions:

Pour salt on a piece of paper, enough to make a layer about 1/4 “ thick in your chosen container. Let your kids play with it – or design with it.

Take your chosen chalk color and rub the chalk back and forth across the salt until you get the desired color saturation.

Carefully, pour layer of colored salt into container. Use the opposite side or a new piece of the paper for a new color (these pages can be used for chalk drawings after the project is over). Pour layers at angles and around the jar to get interesting strata. You can rotate the jar while pouring to achieve this. Repeat process with new colors until jar is completely full. Take care not to shake the rainbow salt jar as this will mix the layers up – brown salt, no fun. Add lid and Voila!
