salty dinosaurs

We always have plenty of salt at hand as we use it for play dough and salt ceramics. We thought before we did that we could use some of it in our imaginary play area.
Of constant use is our large tray, which we designed ourselves and had made, and fits on top of one of our table. It has an edge which keeps in sand, tanbark, blocks, finger paint etc… It makes a handy imaginary play area too. We put piles of the salt onto it, then added a tree branch, artificial plant, mini logs, rocks and dinosaurs – a simple but irresistible play area.
When the children had had enough, we returned the salt to a large tub to be recycled in future imaginary play spaces, salt ceramics and playdough.
