Activity Name:

Colored Salt for Sensory Exploration

Ready for an easy and engaging activity? We’re making Colored Salt for sensory play. It’s a wonderful way to brighten up your child's day and encourage creative exploration.

Gathering Your Materials:

• Regular table salt

• Assorted chalk colors

• Ziploc bags or small containers

• A grater or similar tool

Let's Create Some Magic:

1. Pour salt into a Ziploc bag or container.

2. Grate chalk over the salt. More chalk means more intense colors.

3. Close the bag or container and give it a good shake to mix the chalk and salt.

4. Create as many colors as you like, and get ready to play!

Sensory Play and Its Benefits:

This colorful salt is perfect for tactile and visual play. It's great for drawing, writing, or just running fingers through. Sensory play like this supports fine motor skills, language development, and cognitive growth.

Pro-tips:

• Combine different colored salts in a jar for a layered look.

• Store the colored salt in airtight containers to use again.

• Remember, the kids can take the lead in shaking and pouring but it’s best to leave the grating part to grownups
