Salt Tray

We did a salt tray sensory activity a few days ago so that Amelie could practice writing some letters with her finger. (Salt and not sugar for OBVIOUS REASONS. James said more than once, hopefully, "James eat it?")

I taped construction paper to the bottom of the container so that the letters would be easier to see. 

James wanted to draw on his with a pen, because why not?

 Here's an "M" Amelie made.

I liked shaking it to erase the drawings like an etch-a-sketch. Eventually the kids started picking up the salt and just playing with it.

They've played with these three times so far and we've only had one incident of salt on the floor. Success? Success.
