DIY Montessori Sand Writing and Drawing Tray

Yay!  This was such an awesome DIY for our family.  Our son just turned four years old has been showing a very strong interest in learning his letters and after struggling with the traditional pencil and paper method, I knew this would be a lot easier for him to learn with.  Lucky me, we own almost every Melissa and Doug product on the market so I had absolutely no problem finding the perfect tray for this project! 

    

     

What You Will Need:

• Sand, salt or rice.
• Alphabet cards.
• A shallow box.  I used an old Melissa and Doug box from a wooden pie set.
• A writing tool (finger is actually best)

How To Make It:

There really was nothing to this and the only step I feel I should share is that I painted the Melissa and Doug box black, but only because I felt the box would be less distracting.
