Melting Rainbow

Why it helps

This activity promotes fine motor control and strengthens the small muscles of the child's hand.

Using the markers or chalk, have the child color a rainbow or any other drawing appropriate to the child on the dry erase board/easel.

Use the squirt bottle to squirt the board/rainbow with water, the water causes the marker/chalk to run a.k.a. melt the rainbow.

Note: this activity would work best outside as it can get quite messy.

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