This salt box makes for some wonderful gross-motor style practice with writing letters! It is made from a craft store unpainted "tea tray". First we painted the inside with a lovely dark plum color that shows up when little fingers write deeply in the salt. I used pieces of extra corner trim to plug up the handle holes on the ends, but a variety of wood or plastic items might work just fine. It would be fun to glue a ruler over the holes, too! Then I hot glued a pink colored pencil in place to help hold up the laminated flash cards that we use to drill our letters and phonograms. Just add salt and some "rules" for not dumping salt all over the floor!!! Yikes.
