Terrific Trays!

This post I decided to go on a hunt for cute trays
to sort into, or use as molds (jello, chocolate, butter, ice etc.)
I found most of these on Amazon...if you go to the
supplier or brand name and click the link, you should
find other items by the same company.  Have fun with
these!
Fish Bones

Jewels (use with polygons)

Jewel cubes

Pumpkinz

Porpoise

Froggie

Piggie

Catapillar or Centipede

Numbers

Letters

Punctuation

Strawberry

SUper cubes (good for sorting large cubed objects)


Shells

Little duckies


Fairy wand or sticks and stars

Space invaders (small lego type blocks would be good to sort in these)

Big Hearts

More Duckies

Dino Fossils

Bone

Snowmen and Trees

Little Rounds (good for sorting out round objects)

Big Binomial Blocks

Hi all,
 Has anyone seen these huge Montessori binomial/trinomial
cubes in your training? I came across them from a german training
program. They could be d.i.y. project with  craft wood or card board
and painted.  I thought they'd be a great intro for toddlers.
I also saw a larger than usual homemade set at
I love all of Montessori's cubes...one of these days
I'll own all the powers of the binomial! So beautiful.
I will post up the pictures just to enjoy along with a
link list of resources.
