Acornkids Bath Crayons

Early Learning:

Creative Play – Encourage creativity by drawing, doodling and storytelling

Early learning – Practice writing letters and numbers, practice spelling, play a game of hang man or tic tac toe or create a pattern and ask your little one to complete it.

Older Learning –  Let them write their name, label their pictures, or practice sight words and spelling lists. Draw a letter on their back and let them guess what the letter is.

Colour Awareness – Ask them to identify all the colours, let them draw items that are a colour eg. What crayon would you choose to draw an apple? Draw a line on one arm in a colour and then another line on the other arm in a different colour and then ask your child to identify the colour.

Fine Motor Skills – The bath crayons encourages the development of fine motor skills, by involving small motions of the fingers and the hand. Draw shapes and let them colour the shapes in.

Pincer Grip

– Holding the bullet shape between their fingers ask them to write their name or draw a pattern. This grip will teach them to how to hold a pencil for writing.

Hand Eye Co-ordination – draw a picture and ask your child to copy the picture and make their own next to yours.

Strengthening/ Stabilisation of Arm Muscles – Ask your child to use a cloth/sponge with soap and wash off their own creations. The circular motions on the vertical service are important for strengthening arm muscles. Make it into a game, how fast can they wipe the pictures off, only wipe the red off first, followed by the blue etc.

Imagination – Let them draw/colour their favourite animal character on their face, eg what would a cat look like, whiskers, black nose etc.
