If you need a quick mark making tray to help your mini explorer with their letter formation, phonics graphemes and spelling then this is a great activity that you can set up time and time again. It’s much more exciting for them than writing on paper too!!
What you need:
A tray
Salt/ glitter/ sand / sugar / flour - something that you can mark make in with your finger. I used salt and grated some purple chalk in with it to get this colour.
You can simply use your finger to write with or use an additional mark making tool e.g. a paintbrush like I did in the video.
Learning Opportunities:
Literacy - Writing - making marks, writing graphemes using the correct letter formation and spelling words.
Physical Development - fine motor skills, showing a preference for a dominant hand, using mark making tools and forming recognisable letters.
