Mr. Sandman

What You'll Need:
Sand
Glue
Baking Sheets



We do this project about once a week.

A professor in college taught us that when you mix two senses together in teaching early education characters or numbers children are more likely to remember them.

I used her philosophy and began teaching my children letter recognition using sand.
They were able to practice their letters, and actually wanted to, becaue they love the texture.


We also make designs and practice our letters with glue.
It's easy to clean up and mixing colored sand is key!
