Water Board Tracing

Why it helps

This activity encourages and promotes pre writing skills by allowing the child to practice letter formation using a paint brush and water.

On a chalk board write the letters of the alphabet with chalk.

Add water to the container and place it next to the chalk board.

Ask the child to dip the paint brush in the water and trace the letters of the alphabet. Alternatively, you can use a sponge to enhance the tactile and grasp skills.

For grading, draw shapes on the chalk board instead of the letters of the alphabet.

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