Drawing in the Sand

Why it helps

Practice imitating basic pre-writing shapes.

In a container full of sand or in the sandbox, have the child imitate you drawing shapes using a straw or large stick.

Let him/her try holding the stick in either or both hands.

These activities are for home practice and don't replace the guidance of a licensed therapist.
