Ideas for Using The Sensory Tray and Pre-writing Lines and Shapes Cards

Every touch is stimulating the brain, sending new information to connect with what has already been learned. The sense of Touch and feeling different textures is one of the most valuable tools you can share with your toddler and preschooler.

Sensory Tray is one of our fun products that kids enjoy using.

This tray is filled with coloured salt that is safe to use by children under parents' supervision. It also comes with 16 cards of different lines and shapes. The cards can be used with playdough, whiteboard markers and as guide cards for tray tracing.
