Montessori Sand Tray with Lid - Wooden Sand Trays for Kids Writing Letters and Numbers, Preschool Classroom Must Haves, Kindergarten Learning Tools (Blue)

Cute Montessori toy.Kids have fun with this. Learning to write letters in a fun way instead of just on paper.

Good for kids to trace letters but let’s be real, how long can a kindergartener keep sand n a tiny box, playing with it everyday, even just at school

I purchased this in combination with the sandpaper letters to be used in a homeschool setting. They do offer the child the ability to practice the letters over and over again, leading to not only mastering the letters' symbol but to strengthen pincer grasp and motor skills needed for actual writing. Definitely keep a close eye on the child as the sand is very fine and can go all over the place if the little one uses some extra strength to "wipe" the sand.

The tray itself nice and comes with abc cards, a stylus, and a tool to smooth the sand. My issue was that the sand bag included had a hole in it so there was sand EVERYWHERE upon opening this! There was sand outside of the box the tray was in and all in the paper envelope it was shipped in too! Had to just throw the sand away and clean off everything that came in the kit.

Be careful the blue sand will stain light carpet.My kiddo loves it and its a great way to learn. But it is precarious because the tray when filled with sand and little hands- its going to spill. Be prepared.

My four year old daughter absolutely loves drawing her letters with this. We’ve only had it a couple days and she has absolutely flourished with this. I’m preparing her for kindergarten myself and this has helped keep learning fun! Definitely worth the price.

Love this so much fun

We have a 5 y/o that missed the kindergarten cut off by 7 days. They started showing interest in letters and phonetics independently. We introduced this tray as way to allow him to explore that interest. It’s easy to store. My kiddo is pretty good about keeping the sand in the tray. The letter cards are a helpful visual. My kiddo likes to try and create different letter sound combinations and is always thrilled when he can make a real word he knows!
