This is another super easy activity to prepare. I used a Multicraft tray, printables condiment cup to hold the small cards. You could use just the deciduous or conifrer matchups on the tray. I have both combined on this tray. For the movable alphabet work, I used a traditional small wooden movable alphabet. I also used Montessori Services language objectstub, top, and tag, and number “10” as words for spelling with the movable alphabet. For children working on their phonetic sounds, the /t/ objects could be used in an object basket.

For the salt tray, I used the wooden tray from the Melissa & Doug Lace and Trace Shapes. You can use whatever tray or container work best for you, though. I added a couple of Safari Ltd. trees from the Trees TOOB for interest.
