Salt Writing

In Unit 1 of My Father's World, Elie tried out a new activity that will continue throughout the year.  Salt writing.  

It was a simple setup.  I used a resealable plastic container and put a thick layer of salt inside.  She had fun making the letter S (our first unit) and then proceeded to play with it for about 20 minutes, drawing different things in the salt.

Sensory bins are taken out on an almost daily basis, so she knows the rules for keeping all of the box contents inside the box - but with salt, there was a little bit spread out on her table.  So she grabbed her dust vac and cleaned up.
