Our wooden sand writing tray is the perfect learning resource to develop early mark making and letter formation. Using sand is a tactile and sensory way to help children become confident with forming letters and numbers. They can use their finger or the wooden writing stick supplied to make marks in the sand which can be easily wiped away. This encourages them to practice and not worry about making mistakes.
There are so many opportunities for learning with our sand writing tray. It can be used for forming numbers or shapes and is great for practising pre-writing lines. The slot at the top of the tray fits A6 flashcards perfectly and can be used with our pre-writing, alphabet and number flashcards which can be found here. The board has been made long enough that children can begin to write simple cvc words as demonstrated in the photos.
