Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Hi We were looking at making some coloured sand sculptures like you can get in the isle of wight. Does anyone know where i can get cheap coloured sand or some small bottles. We have tried making the coloured sand by colouring salt, this does work well so may be an option but we need some bottles to put them in. any ideas?
AnonyMouse_8391 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 on e-bay there's a pot for sale, i recognised the pot to be by 'brian clegg' you may need to phone them though as i couldn't see it on the web site.

Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Have you tried adding food colouring to sand? I think we did that last year when we did Diwali (used it for Rangoli patterns on the floor) . I'm sure that's how we made it coloured.

Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 the wet/dry sand is 'magic sand' or 'sand magic'. its fab. blows my mind every time!!!!
AnonyMouse_705 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 You can get plastic bottles of assorted coloured sand from The Consortium. They also sell large bags of blue sand.
Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I bought coloured sand from NES Arnold. Its called safari sand and cost £11.00 +vat for a bag. I think they have green, blue, pink, orange, yellow and red. When I ordered it the only colour that wasn't sold out was orange. We use it in the tuff spot.
Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm pretty sure we got some big bags of sand from TTS catalogue. It was quite cheap compared to other places I'd seen it.
