Sand Letters

We all know kindergarten is the perfect time to learn letters, but this activity is fun and engaging for all students to practice gross motor skills and letter formation! Keeping learning light and enjoyable encourages not only content knowledge growth, but language development as well. Try this out!

Have a couple old baking sheets? (I went to thrift stores and the local dollar store!)
Have some cheap spray paint and a flat surface?



Paint front and back...


Add sand or shaving cream to the pans -- not too much! Just enough for students to be able to see the color show through. 
Have fun!



Thanks to Kim Parzymieso for the great idea!!
