Found the most amazing pins on Pinterest for pre-writing skills! SALT TRAYS.. RAINBOW SALT TRAYS.
Inspiration came from this site tray/ http://www.learning4kids.net/2012/06/05/rainbow-salt-tray/ We deffo had to give it a whirl. It was soooo much fun! Both adults and children spent ages on this task!
We got out the big sand tray, and layered coloured paper into it. We put all different colours in rows, as we had a funny shaped tray, and it made it look much more exciting! The children enjoyed helping us pour the salt... we had a large tray, and used two pots of salt, and could still have done with a bit more! They enjoyed playing in it even more!
We used our fingers to make lines, letters, numbers and patterns. We even added Mr Potato heads arms, trains, cars and trucks to make marks. It also calmed the more lively children down too! Bonus!
