Even though we've done this before, it has been a while. When Gerrick spotted the tray on the table, he lit up with excitement. "OOOh...what's this letter s doing here? What is this? Can I do it?"...

Salt Tray Letters
In a comment yesterday, Momma Snail suggested practicing letter formation with sensory trays. Then later last night I saw the same thing on Adventures of a Rainbow Mama. So of course, today I just had to pull out the salt! :)

Sherry, I totally love that!!! My 4 yr olds would probably have a lot of fun practicing their letters in a salt tray! I'm gonna try it with them tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me! I added myself to your follow list as well. Welcome to the Follow Me Club!
Thats a really good idea! Fun and creative! What kind of weather are you guys having?? We had like one week of beautiful weather and now...we're back in sweaters and coats. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by from Mom Bloggers Club.
Thanks for following my blog. I'm following yours too and looking forward to more visits to your fab site!
ReplyDeleteI should try this activity again. I did it months ago with cornmeal, but my son just wanted me to make the letters (well, mostly numbers) but salt sounds like a good material.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for mentioning me and adding yourself as a follower of my blog! ;) I love that you've got a salt tray going too. I can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first glanced at the picture, I thought it was shaving cream, and I was wondering how on earth you managed to keep your son and the table so clean!
ReplyDeleteSalt looks like a great idea! We've done similar projects, but never tried salt.
You are such a cool mom! I love all the activities you guys are doing!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say 'hi' and let you know I'm following you. Came by from MBC/Follow Me group.
Seriously, you don't know how cool you are. :-) I'm going to go read more posts now!
Those are really cool! It must be relaxing to trace the letters in salt, like the mini zen gardens? Anyway, I'm Cherrie from follow me club. Just started following you :-)
ReplyDeleteCool idea! My little one would have fun with this!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!
