What is sand art? Sand art is a unique way for
children to create amazing artwork using our bright coloured sands and precut adhesive sand cards.You simply remove sections of the adhesive card cover and sprinkle over the brightly coloured sands. No glue or scissors are required! We have sand art designs to suit both boys and girls.

Playsand Sand Art for Kids is located in Perth, Australia. We have sandart activities for childrens birthday parties, school fetes, fair, fundraising and corporate events.

We offer online shopping at our website www.playsand.com.au

Markets this weekend!

This Saturday you will be able to find us at the Treasure Hunt Market - Forrestfield, Nedlands Primary School Fete and the Market Girl Boutique Market - Joondalup on Sunday.

Playsand will be at the Subiaco Craft Fair this coming Sunday. Look for the PLAYSAND tent to purchase Take Home Kits, Im Bored Packs, or let the kids complete their Sand Art masterpiece on the day!

With 200 stalls, entertainment and great food, the Subiaco Craft and Community Fair is the ideal way to enjoy a family day out while looking for something special to buy, especially with Christmas approaching fast.

Treat yourself to a delicious lunch, all the while taking the time to admire the magnificent surroundings of Matilda Bay and the University grounds.

Beautiful surroundings, extraordinary handcrafts, tranquil grounds, foreshore and river are some of the attractions.

Gates are open to the public from 9 am to 4 pm. An entry donation is payable to assist local charities and community projects and ample free parking is available.

Everyone attending the Fair receives a free ticket in the giant Stallholders’ Promotional Raffle, which showcases the quality of the craft available for sale. There are several draws during the day with hundreds of dollars worth of prizes.

This year, the event promises to be bigger and better, so don’t miss out.
