So…I finally had some free time on my hands and I decided to make another salt tray, one with less salt, but with coloured paper underneath it. I used a plastic tray, some construction paper, salt, tape and…that’s it! Make sure to use tape to stick the sheets to one another, so that the salt doesn’t get in between. Also, I put some double sided tape to glue the paper to the tray.
We are focusing on shapes this whole month, so we used the tray to draw triangles, circles, hearts, and squares. Some kids chose to use their fingers, while some preferred a barbeque stick. The kids really enjoyed it.
