Here is another pre-handwriting activity for your kiddo: Sandbox Writing.
I've seen this same idea (sandbox and cards) for alphabet writing, but I wanted something for Simon to help him practice basic handwriting strokes and shapes.
I created a set of 28 cards for him to use with the sandbox. You can snag your own set below. Be sure to laminate the cards for extra durability.

This is pure {pre-alphabet writing} fun!

I love the colored sand!! Where did you get your box?
I just grabbed a random box I had!
Really you could use anything — a tray, an old cookie sheet, the possibilities are endless. 🙂
I SO love this! I shared in on my facebook page here:

I know the peeps will love it too!
Hi there, I love this idea, and your blog!! Where did you find the colored sand? And how do you store it? Just curious, thanks so much for all these wonderful ideas and activities!!

We picked up the color sand at Wal-mart. We just store it in the wooden box (it has a lid). I’m trying to think of other easy ways to store it . . . I will keep my eyes open when I’m out for containers that would work well.
Thanks for your kind words!
