<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Handwriting is essential to producing a masterpiece! With all the latest technology at your very fingertips, children today aren't required as much to produce work in their authentic manuscript. There's always a button nearby for them to push to create the end results. Here are five, cost efficient ways to teach and practice handwriting!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. <b><u>Shaving Cream</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Children love to play with texture. Shaving cream is smooth and creamy! All you need is a flat surface to spread it on and begin to write. No pencil needed, just a willing index finger! Not only is it fun to practice in but leaves the room smelling great!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. <b><u>M&M's</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No, not the little round candies! M&M means...mustard and mayo! There's nothing more fun than writing in some sort of sauce! Using mustard and mayo (at separate times) let your child/ write their hearts out or simply let them squeeze it from the bottle as their writing their spelling words, or any word list!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. <b><u>Sky-Writing </u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Imagination is the best tool any child could have! When kids use their imagination they create a world that represents safety and risk-taking! All you need is any set of words or letters, a good index finger and write the letters or words in the air!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4.<b><u>Sand</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like sands through an hour glass, so is handwriting! The next time your near the beach or simply dirt and water, make a mixture with it and write using their fingers or with a stick Kids love getting dirty! Why not give them a purpose for doing so!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. <b><u>Frosting</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What's the most popular classroom party item? If you guessed cupcakes, your right! What kid doesn't like cupcakes??? With that being said take some left over frosting or ready made in the tube and write away or simply squeeze it out. Again, give them a purposeful reason to make a mess and learn at the same time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Writing!</span>T. L. Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15934846745978815837noreply@blogger.com0
