SALT YOUR SENSES WRITING TRAY RECIPE

• 1 Bag of Table Salt

• Natural Food Coloring

• Essential Oils

• Plastic bags with zip closure

• Small Tray

Place 1/2 c. Salt into a plastic bag. Add in two to three drops of Food Coloring and one to two drops of your favorite Essential Oils. Close the bag and let your child squish or shake until everything is well mixed together. Pour the colored salt into the tray and allow to air dry for a couple minutes.

Now the tray is ready for your child to practice writing shapes, letters, and words in the salt. If the salt remains dry, it can be used repeatedly until you choose to make new colors. To re-scent, add one to two drops of Essential Oil and stir to combine throughout salt in tray.
