Sand Castles at Home

Do you have trouble finding fine motor activities for your children? I do. Yes there are the basic fine motor activities of writing, coloring, cutting and lacing string. However children easily get bored with the same activities. I find that is they are bored the activity falls apart and then nothing is accomplished.
I recently found a great fine motor activity that I need to try…. Sand Castles
Idea of the Day:
Make sand castles at home.
What you will need:
- Play sand
- White or light brown play dough
- Ice cube tray
- Plastic knives
1. Mix the sand into the play dough.
2. Have children press the play dough mixture into each section of the ice cube tray.
3. Next have your child gently remove the play dough using a plastic knife.
4. Now that the play dough is in a cube form, your child can begin to build a castle.
