Use sq**rt bottles to paint snow with the kids! This is a great winter activity that builds skills.

Squeezing a sq**rt bottle develops hand strength, develops the arches in the hands, builds endurance in fine motor tasks, and is a fantastic visual motor skill activity for children.

By squeezing a sq**rt bottle, children develop skills in eye-hand coordination, visual perception, crossing midline, hand strength, upper extremity endurance, working on a vertical plane, and heavy work.

Ice painting in a tuff tray. ❄️🩵
Take some containers and pop them in the freezer overnight to have a new canvas for the children to paint in the morning.
Give it a go!
