Maria Montessori developed the sandpaper letters which are used in conjunction with The Sandpaper Letter Tracing Tray. The tray is filled with sand, and the sandpaper letter is placed next to the sand in the tray for tracing. The Child uses either their pointed index finger or a stylus to trace the letter in the tracing tray. This develops the child’s muscle memory of how to write the letter using the correct direction and lines.
As The Child traces the sandpaper letter, they say the sound, the next step is to trace the letter in the sand, copying the sandpaper letter. Thus engaging the 3 senses, visual, auditory and tactile.
The set includes fine white sand and a beech wood tray. There is a scraper to pull over the sand to spread the sand out evenly after use.
Dimensions of the tray 39cm x 25cm x 3.5cm (15½” x 10″ x 1½”)
One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.
We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.
- Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
- Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
- MDF for puzzle maps
- Pineply for boxes and containers
We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.
Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.
Care instructions for Childrens House Wooden Materials:
- If wooden products are exposed to liquids, wipe dry as quickly as possible.
- Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
- Avoid leaving any of our wooden product in direct sunlight, as it may warp certain woods and/ or the coating may fade over time.

The sand is great quality so that lines can be traced by the child properly. I also like the handle that keeps the sand flat to use again. The children seem to be able to do it themselves.
