We are nearly the whole way through the year with our Sensory Writing Tray series and I have loved doing these with the kids! I do love an ongoing theme and the creative ways to create with such a smoke set of materials are endless.

For our latest Christmas themed sensory writing tray, I made gingerbread salt as a base material for mark-making in. To make this, I simply added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger and 1 tsp allspice to approximately 1/2 cup of salt and stirred it through very carefully until it was all combined and the colour was well mixed. Keep dry cinnamon away from the kids as it can be dangerous if inhaled. Once thoroughly mixed into the salt base it is fine to use in this way. The sensory tray smelt amazing!
