Why it helps
This cold and fun activity helps in developing tripod grasp as well as sensory processing.
Put a small amount of paint on a sheet of construction paper.
Let the child hold an ice cube using the thumb, index finger, and middle finger only.
Have the child move the ice cube over the paint and spread it on the paper.
You may also use powder paint for this activity.
You can use the Colored Ice Cubes activity to make the ice cubes for this activity.
