This activity is as old as the hills but maybe you've forgotten about it. I was reminded of it by my neighbor (veteran homeschooling mom, Kristen Burdette.)
1. Give your child a shallow plate of cornmeal, rice, sand, flour, beans - anything really.
2. Ask them to draw letters or words.

If you have a reluctant writer, this activity changes things up and makes it more exciting. Preschoolers can get in on the action, too. Ask them to draw shapes or give them a few matchbox cars to drive around and make textured roads.
A 9x13 baking dish, or cookie sheet with rims is better than the small dish you see above. What was I thinking?! Rookie move.
