‘Melting’ Drawing/Letters

(this activity was melt the monster)

Here’s something that is really simple that the kids get a kick out of and can spice up drawing, handwriting, coloring, etc.  We have them ‘melt’ their letters or drawings after it is completed by using a spray bottle or a pipet with water.  The kids love the idea of doing it and usually ask if they can ‘melt’ their letters which gives us a great motivator to get them to work on their letters.  In addition if they are using a spray bottle or pipet they are working on hand strengthening and fine motor skills so its a double bonus! (I like the melting from the spray bottle a little bit better but the pipet works just as well in a ‘pinch’)
