Mess-Free water painting
This fun water painting activity is so incredibly simple… All you need are paint brushes and a bucket of water.
This strengthens gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, improves hand manipulation, and encourages creativity. So let your little one’s imagination soar without the mess!
You can paint the ground, outdoor walls, and rocks. Have your little one practice drawing letters, see the different strokes each brush makes, practice pouring by letting them fill the water bucket with a pitcher, and show your little one how the sun dries up the water so you can start the fun all over again!.
This is great for 18 months through toddlerhood!
