Step 1

Add foam stickers to spell out words, names or simply the alphabet.
TIP: Try to keep the dimensional stickers away from the writing surface to keep that area smooth.

Step 2

Decorate the tray with polka dots! Use the foam stipplers in different sizes to make dots. Just dip it into some paint, then press it on to the surface and twist it slightly as you pull it straight off. Let the paint dry in between applications. You will likely need to add additional coats for good paint coverage.

Step 3

To make the smaller white dots, dip the eraser end of a pencil into white paint and use the same technique as in Step 2.
