Benefits to Ice painting:

This activity is great fun and simple to prepare. Your child will explore the process of mixing different colours. The use of the ice lolly stick will help to develop fine motor skills as it is only slightly thicker than a pen, therefore is perfect for practicing pre writing skills. There will also be experimentation with different senses such as touch, holding the ice resulting in it melting, due to the temperature of ice their sensory awareness will be high
