Why it helps
This is a great activity for hot summer days. This fun activity reinforces pincer grasp and assists in strengthening the arches of the hand. Playing with water also provides tactile input.
In a small and shallow container mix a few drops of food color with water.
Have the child squeeze the eyedropper to collect some colored water from the shallow container and then squeeze it again into the sections of the ice cube tray.
Once all the ice cube tray sections are filled, place the tray in the freezer.
