Specifications
The Multi-Sensory Tray & Board with Sand by Akros is a large-format educational tool designed to support early writing readiness, creativity, and sensory exploration in children aged 3 to 6 years. Inspired by Montessori methodology, this resource harnesses the power of touch and kinesthetic learning to introduce foundational concepts such as shape formation, pattern recognition, numbers, and letters.
The generous size of the tray makes it ideal for individual exploration or collaborative group activities. Children can draw in the sand using their fingers or tools, encouraging sensory engagement while refining fine motor control and hand-eye coordination. The reversible board included in the set features a chalkboard on one side and a whiteboard on the other, offering multiple surfaces for mark-making and learning. This open-ended resource invites curiosity and creativity, while the salt-based sand offers a safe and tactile medium for free expression. It is especially well-suited to inclusive learning environments, supporting children with additional needs by offering calming, hands-on learning experiences.

- 1 wooden tray
- 1 reversible chalkboard/whiteboard
- 3 chalks and 1 eraser
- 1 felt-tip pen
- 3 bags of craft-grade sand (0.4 kg each)
