Dinosaur Alphabet Sand Tray for Writing Practice with Preschoolers
A simple low prep dinosaur themed sand tray with upper and lowercase printable dinosaur alphabet cards to work on letter formation with toddlers and preschoolers.
Download and print out the dinosaur alphabet cards. Cut into individual cards. Optional - laminate this will make them hard wearing and easy to use time and time again (bonus is that your preschooler can then use them to write over and trace the letters with a dry wipe marker!)
Fill the shallow tray with the coloured sand.
Pick out the letters that you are working on with your preschooler and place beside and above the salt try.
You can theme it a little if you wish with dinosaur figures and toys or keep simple like we have.
Using the Dinosaur Sand Tray with your Preschooler
Invite your preschooler to the activity.
Show them how to make the marks in the sand.
Review with them the different letters and supervise them making the marks.
