Has your toddler or preschooler ever turned a regular everyday item into their favourite toy? Discover an Allen key or find your wine bottle pump and play with it for days.

I have discovered that sometimes the easiest way to entertain a toddler or preschooler is to use those everyday items they discover and have turned into toys.

That is the case with the spray bottle. I had one in the bathroom to spray water on my curly hair in the morning. At two my daughter discovered it and played with it for days. She sprayed everything – her toys, her clothes, the floor, the toilet. But I wasn’t mad, she was happy and entertained and working muscles in her hands that would set her up nicely when writing at school.

That summer I made up a few fun activities and it became a go to item when I needed a something quick and fun to occupy her.

Now close to almost four year old we have rediscovered our spray bottle and it still entertains!

With summer quickly approaching, what better time to get out the spray bottle and have her spray up the whole outside!

Spray bottles are not only fun to play with they can also be a great learning and art tool.

After doing a extensive search on Pinterest I found 21 creative and fun ways to use a spray bottle this summer.

From cool art projects to learning numbers and letters the spray bottle will be a guaranteed hit with your little one this summer.

All of the activities are from fun and amazing kids activity blogs so be sure to check them all out!
