I have the best Montessori writing tool for you.

Helping a child learn to write can be a painful process for adults.

Who am I kidding?

Learning to write is harder for the child, especially a child who is struggling with fine motor skills and hand strength. Our job is to guide the child, to observe, and to understand what direction the child needs from us.

You see, kids learning how to write don’t need a pencil and paper. Many Montessori classrooms have a writing tool such as a salt or sand tray. In our home, we’ve tried salt trays and sand trays as a Montessori writing tool.

Nothing beats our variation: the Corn Meal Tray.

The feel of the corn meal intrigues children and makes for a wonderful writing tool. Simple and powerful. Inexpensive, too. A Tray. Corn Meal.
