Running Water

Why it helps

Develop and strengthen finger muscles which may contribute to a proper grasp of writing tools.

Place two containers or buckets on opposite sides of the room or the area you play at.

Fill up one of the containers with water.

You may add food coloring if you wish.

Have the child transfer the water from one container to the other using a squeeze bottle or an eyedropper.

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