✨ Sensory Salt for Learning to Read & Spell! ✨

Sensory salt is a fantastic multi-sensory activity that engages touch, sight, and even smell to make learning more engaging! My sons enjoyed tracing words in our homemade cinnamon-scented salt – perfect for a winter learning session. ❄️

Why use sensory salt?
✔️ Engages multiple senses to reinforce learning
✔️ Supports fine motor skills development
✔️ Makes spelling and phonics practice more fun!

Want to try it at home? Here’s how to make your own:

🔹 Sensory Salt Recipe:
1️⃣ Pour some fine salt (cheap supermarket bags work well) into a sealable bag.
2️⃣ Add a few drops of liquid food coloring (optional for a pop of color).
3️⃣ Seal the bag and mix by shaking and kneading until the colour is evenly distributed.
4️⃣ Spread the salt out on a plate and let it dry (time varies depending on humidity).
5️⃣ Once dry, add winter spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even dried lavender for a lovely scent. You can also use vanilla essence or essential oils—just add them with the food colouring!
6️⃣ Mix well and pour into a tray for easy learning fun.

✨ Tip: A tray helps keep the salt contained!
