GAME INSTRUCTIONS:
Empty some of the sand onto the pre-writing tray (it is recommended not to use too much sand in order to be able to write and draw better in the tray).
Next, place the board on the stand in the tray so it is perpendicular to it.
Draw on one of the two boards whatever you want to work on, or ask the child to think freely about what they want to do. You can work on letters, numbers, shapes,
etc. The concept will depend on the age and the knowledge of the child.
Next, ask them to copy the picture that appears on the board into the sand.
Use the sand smoother to leave the sand smooth and start again.
As the child acquires more dexterity, you can reverse the process and draw in the tray and ask the child to reproduce it on the blackboard or whiteboard.
GROUP GAME INSTRUCTIONS: The large size of the multi-sensory tray also enables you to create and experiment as a group.
