Look 👀 at these fun vertical surface summertime activities!! Why do we (OTs) like these type of activities? Because they foster these benefits: ⭐️ Wrist Extension ⭐️ Core Stabilization: ⭐️ Bilateral Hand Coordination ⭐️ Shoulder Strengthening/Stabilization ⭐️ Fine Motor Coordination Here’s how I set up the activities: ✨ MAGNETIC TILES & DRY ERASE MARKER 🧲 Grab some shapes and hand them the marker. Guide them in holding the shape with one hand and tracing with the other. Hello, bilateral coordination! Bonus ➡️ use a cotton ball or paper towel to wipe/trace away the shapes when finished. ✨ WINDOW CRAYONS 🖍 These are one of my fav summertime activities. Let them free color or have them practice drawing shapes or writing their names. ✨ SHAVING CREAM & WASHING 💦 You can spray some shaving cream on and have them draw shapes into the cream OR if they are old enough, let them spray shapes onto the window using the bottle, talk about hand strengthening. Now, the fun part.....grab a sponge, soap, and water and let them wash all that away! Which one are you going to try first? LTKkids LTKFind LTKSeasonal
