Water Play!
Take advantage of being outside before it gets too hot!
Children love water play activities during hot weather, and many of them enhance gross motor skills. Have your child fill water buckets and carry them around, either to fill up a baby pool or help you water plants, to help with strengthening. A water table is another fun way to incorporate many activities at once. In a water table, your child can float objects, pour water into cups and play with small squirt toys, all activities that strengthen his hands.
