Montessori Activity: Salt Tray
Age: From 2 years old.
Activity Duration: 5-10 minutes
Preparation Time: 1 minutes
Objective(s):
1. To develop the child’s five senses.
2. To develop the child's language skill.
Materials:
1. 1 deep baking tray or dish
2. A handful of table salt
Directions:

2. Encourage and let your child try and repeat the sound after you.
Total Cost: Salt: 3 DKK (0.70 SGD) for 1 packet at the supermarket
Additional Information:
You can also use sand for this, but being a clean freak, I prefer to use salt. For younger toddlers, just allow them to play free “writing” on the salt.
