Why it helps
This activity works on finger motions that are similar to the ones used for cutting.
Fill up the spray bottle with water and food coloring.
Have the child grasp the neck of the spray bottle using his/her little finger, ring finger, and thumb.
Have the child put his/her index finger and middle finger on the trigger.
Ask the child to squeeze the trigger and spray the coffee filter/butcher paper to create a colorful picture.
