This week we have been trying out a lot of different spelling activities as my daughter makes her way through her Words Their Way spelling list. So far this game of Shaving Cream Sort and Spell has been my daughter’s favorite — how could it not be for a kid that LOVES sensory messes?!

This game of shaving cream sort and spell is an awesome way to get children examining and manipulating their spelling words!

If you are not familiar with Words Their Way, it is a program that focuses on getting kids to examine and manipulate their spelling words instead of just memorizing them. We have been having a lot of fun with it!

When it comes to the holidays, peppermint is one of my favorite scents. Just one whiff and it is an instant magical trip back to the land of Santa and Rudolph and snow. Never fails, like a great glass of hot coco, peppermint will always remind me of this time of year. Because of that when it came time to work on our writing tonight I couldn’t think of any excuse to not make a Peppermint Sensory Writing Tray…tis the season 🙂

This peppermint sensory writing tray is an awesome way to work on sight words while getting some sensory exploration!

Sensory writing trays are an excellent way to make challenging tasks for your child fun! These can be used from basic working on fine motor skills to sight words to even math problems! We love using sensory trays in our home!
