Practice Writing Letters and Numbers!

Writing letters, numbers, and pre-writing shapes in different textures helps students to engage, learn, and remember what they are practicing! Try these different ideas on a tray, plate, or table.

  • Sand
  • Shaving Cream (add food coloring for extra fun!)
  • Whipped cream (add food coloring for extra fun!)
  • Dish Soap
  • Paint

Need a Less Messy Option?

  • Try putting a small amount of paint and dish soap (or hair conditioner) in a large seal-able plastic bag.
  • Tape over the seam with shipping tape (or duct tape) to prevent the seal from breaking
  • Lay the bag on a flat surface
  • Use your index finger (pointer finger) or a Q-tip to create different shapes, letters, and numbers
