● Wash outdoor walls with soapy bubbles… How high can you reach on the wall?
● Paint with a mop: can you mix the colours? What patterns can you make?
● Get green fingered; dig in the soil, plant seeds and flowers, dig up the weeds.
Let’s Get Foamy!
Use shaving foam to make scribbles, pictures, letters and more. Why not try using different utensils like spoons, forks, sticks, straws or paint brushes.
By using fingers and different utensils, the small muscles in the wrist and hands are strengthening.
Playdough Party
You will need: dough (2 cups flour, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup oil, colour/scent), space to move around and music!
Moves can include: make a ball, pass and press (move the dough from hand to hand, pressing it flat) and funky fingers (use each individual finger to create a dotty pattern)
Why not challenge yourself and see how many shapes you can make before the music stops?
