Tracing on sand helps the child develop confidence in forming letters and numbers in free hand style.
When the box is filled with clean sand it provides the perfect tactile medium that the child can use with their finger to draw a letter, number or symbol shape.
They can use a writing tool to write in the sand to prepare to use a pencil on paper.
For any Montessori classroom and home school, this is a good tool for general writing teaching.
