Cacti are rough and prickly, but you can feel that sort of texture without actually getting stuck by the prickles!
What you need:
- a sheet of sandpaper
- scissors
- green fingerpaint (optional)
What you do:
- Use scissors to cut the sandpaper into a cactus shape.
- Place a small amount of green fingerpaint on the sandpaper and paint the cactus using your fingers!
- To add to the fun, you can glue the sandpaper cactus to cardstock and make an entire desert scene.
