If you are following me on Pinterest or on Facebook (if you are not, you should by the way), you would know that I have started my Montessori journey with the Lil' Tiger. I was intrigued by the way children learn when I went to an open day at a Montessori school near by. I was amazed by how the children have some sort of freedom in how they learn, more on my journey later.
One of the activity that is recommended for the Lil' Tiger's age is tracing letters, shapes and patterns. Usually this is done with a tray and some sand. Now, I have no access to sand and I don't think people would like it if I take some from the beach so I searched on Pinterest for a while and finally saw this post on The Imagination Tree using coloured salt! What a brilliant idea!
All you need is 3 simple things that you already have at home.
- A bag of Salt
- few drops of food colouring of your choice
- a huge ziplock bag (I got mine from IKEA).
