The Djeco Abstract Coloured Sand Activity Kit is an ideal creative tool for children and art enthusiasts looking to explore the techniques of Vassily Kandinsky through a hands-on, tactile medium. By providing pre-illustrated cards and a structured colour-coded system, it makes mastering complex abstract styles accessible for beginners; however, the fine nature of the sand requires a careful workspace to prevent mess during the creative process.

FAQs
What age group is this kit designed for?
This kit is designed for children who enjoy artistic activities, typically ages 7 and up, though it can be enjoyed by anyone interested in sand art.
Can I reuse the sand?
Yes, excess sand that does not stick to the adhesive can be poured back into the pots to be used for future projects.
Does the kit come with glue?
No, the cards are pre-adhesive. You simply peel off the protective cover to reveal the sticky surface.
How long does it take to complete a card?
Depending on the complexity of the design and the pace of the artist, most cards take between 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Is the sand non-toxic?
Yes, Djeco products are designed with safety in mind; however, the sand should not be ingested.
Troubleshooting
Sand is not sticking to the card
Ensure that the protective paper has been fully removed from the adhesive section and that you are not touching the sticky area with your fingers before applying sand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply lay out your materials, identify the number on the card section, and match it to the corresponding colour in your instruction booklet. Ensure your hands are clean and dry before starting, as skin oils can reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive surface. While no additional tools are needed, it is recommended to work on a large tray or a piece of paper to catch any stray sand. To store, replace caps tightly on sand pots to prevent spills and keep the artwork flat until the adhesive fully sets.
