Coach House Sand Writing Tray

This Wooden Sand Writing Tray by The Little Coach House is a shallow wooden tray to hold sand with a slot to hold A6 flashcards and includes a beech wood dowel to practice mark making and a small bag of play sand. This handmade sand tray is a wonderful Montessori teaching resource that will support early mark making through to letter and number formation. The Little Coach House Flashcards are available to purchase separately.

The Little Coach House wooden sand tray is perfect for children in early years education, helping with the formation of shapes and pre-writing lines in the sand, that can easily be wiped away. As they practice mark making with their fingers or using the tracing stick in the sand, they are building up hand muscle memory - ideal preparation for putting pen to paper. The tracing stick helps develop the tripod grip for when they are ready to hold a pencil. Team up with a set of number or letter flashcards by The Little Coach House to support your child’s letter and number formation – the sand tray is long enough to hold three letters to help children practice simple cvc three-letter words.
