Metal Snow Shovel

Shoveling snow is a great winter practical life activity for young children. It is also a wonderful maximum effort activity. 

Gross motor activities, such as shoveling snow, allow children to build core strength, as well as strength in their arms and legs. It develops hand eye coordination and better prepares children for the day-to-day tasks later on in life.

This sturdy and lightweight snow shovel is perfectly sized for young children and will help make shoveling snow easy and fun!

 How to set up a successful snow shoveling activity for your child:

• Use a child-sized snow shovel
• Designate a small and specific area to your child for your child to shovel and decide where they can place the shoveled snow
• Demonstrate how to take a small amount of snow in the shovel at a time and then place the shoveled snow in the "discard pile" each time. This will appeal to their need for order.
