Cool off with summer sensory play! For children with fine motor differences, try a variety of painting tools - different sized brushes, spray bottles, roller brushes and sponges. A sponge toss can be an awesome alternative to water balloons since the squishy, textured surface makes for easier gripping.

Cool off this summer with adaptive water activities for all! Making small changes in the way you play can have a great impact on children with delays and disabilities.
