Materials
White paper
Crayons or markers (thick crayons, markers, or crayon rocks work best for small hands)
Tape
Directions
Secure the paper with tape onto the work surface. Encourage your toddler to choose a crayon or marker and make lines or stripes down the paper. Introduce the words top and bottom. With toddlers, don’t be too concerned about the way your child chooses to grip the writing instrument. Encourage preschool age children to hold the marker or crayon using a correct writing grip.
