Whether you’re heading to the beach or the backyard, bring along a pad and markers for your child to record the experience. Remember, her first step in writing is drawing what she sees!<\/span><\/div>\n
2. Water Writing.<\/strong> A refreshing way to write is with a paintbrush and water or an ice cube with a craft stick handle. Your child can make letters, words, and pictures by moving the ice cube along a paved surface. Then, she can watch as her writing dries and disappears.<\/span><\/div>\n

3. Sticks and Stones.<\/strong> Give your child a stick, and the beach or sandbox suddenly becomes a huge writing pad! She’ll enjoy drawing and writing in the sand or earth with sticks or stones \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and erasing her work before starting all over again.<\/p>\n
