Body Painting
This was a fun outdoor activity we did today - body painting. First we were painting the bottoms of our feet and making prints. But then the toddler just wanted to paint other people's feet or her own. We had a bucket of water close by so anyone could wash up when done. The toddler loved painting her own feet and cleaning them off. In toddler fashion, this dirty/clean cycle was repeated many times (anything with water is always a huge hit). This activity could be done indoors but so much easier outside.
I love this! We used to do this every summer at my parents campground. They would do it at the lake and then the kids could run in and rinse off. Looking at it with my 'therapist eyes' the lake was a great idea because they eventually got sand on their body so they were getting extra sensory input with each brush stroke! Thanks for sharing.
