Splash Goal Ball Push

Purpose

This fun game helps your child build strong hands while playing with water. By using the spray bottle, they work on muscles needed for using scissors. It also teaches them how to plan their movements to reach a target. You are turning a simple backyard activity into a way to grow their skills. Plus, it is a great way to stay active!
