Alphabet Water Tracing: Summer Activity for Kids


Summer Activity for Kids: Alphabet Water Tracing

When the weather 1st started to get really nice, I took the kids and my son's friend outside to do a fun water play activity. I gave them all the puzzle pieces minus the letters from our giant foam alphabet puzzle, a bowl of water, and a paintbrush. I was surprised at how long they wanted to keep doing this letter tracing activity. Baby Sister even tried to copy what the boy's were doing and stayed just as content- so cute! It was the perfect way to get her using her fine motor skills too. His friend doesn't know all of his letters quite yet so this made it a new, exciting way for him to practice learning each letter.

More outdoor tracing activities we have done:
Chalk + Alphabet Puzzle = Tracing Fun!

Linking up to these parties!
