My 3.5 yr old cant figure out how to blow his nose. (his 2 yr old brother has it down......) He does a clearing of the throat thing that sounds (to him) like he's blowing his nose. I'm looking for methods/ideas about how to teach him how to do it.
Thanks for your help!

Teach him to blow out a candle with his nose. (I.e. he should cover his mouth)

put a tissue over his nose, drape it like a tent, hold it there from the bridge of his nose. then tell him to make the tissue fly. try to practice when his nose is clear.

you can also make a game out of blowing a feather off your hand only using the nose. The only rule is to keep the mouth closed.
