Optical Illusion Sand Art Pictures (24 Pack)

Optical Illusion Sand Art Pictures turn bold geometric designs into colorful textured artwork with an easy peel-and-sprinkle process. Kids remove the protective sections one at a time, add colored sand, and watch striking patterns emerge without needing glue, making this a fun hands-on alternative to ordinary coloring projects.

Peel, Sprinkle & Watch the Pattern Come Alive

Each picture features a geometric optical illusion divided into self-adhesive sections. Kids simply peel away one section at a time, sprinkle on their chosen sand color, shake away the excess, and continue until the entire design is filled with bold color and texture.

The set includes 6 different funky designs with 4 of each, so a group can experiment with different combinations while still working from the same overall activity. Oriental Trading confirms the matching kit uses pre-printed self-adhesive cardboard designs with assorted colored sand, eliminating the need for separate glue.

Each finished picture measures exactly 5" x 7", creating a substantial piece of geometric artwork that can be displayed on classroom walls, bulletin boards, bedrooms, activity rooms, or taken home as a colorful keepsake.

• Place paper underneath the picture so excess sand can be collected and poured back for reuse
• Peel only the sections you are ready to fill so the remaining adhesive areas stay protected
• Gently press or tap the sand onto each exposed adhesive section before shaking away the excess
• Small parts are not intended for children under 3 years
