Today’s session focused on building functional independence by practicing opening and closing containers—a skill that supports school readiness and everyday routines like snack time and play.

We used the client’s favourite Peppa Pig characters to boost motivation and engagement during our session! 🐷

We also added a pasting activity with themed scenes to target fine motor skills: ✂️

Fine motor skills targeted:
🟪 Hand strength through container opening
🟩 Bilateral coordination when holding the container and managing the lid
🟪 Pincer grasp and finger dexterity while picking up and placing small character pieces
🟩 Visual motor integration and creativity when positioning characters into themed scenes
🟪 Pasting skills using a glue stick to secure pieces in place

🛁 Self-care 🍽️

Have you considered how independent your child is in completing their daily self-care tasks? Simply put, a self-care task is an activity we complete to take care of ourselves — physically, mentally, or emotionally.

For our kids, this typically involves simple tasks like brushing their teeth, eating a meal, and wiping their bum 🍑! Use this little checklist to consider where they are at:

👕🩳 Dressing – Can my child put on and take off all their clothes by themself? Do their clothes look neat and orderly? Can they put on shoes by themselves?

🪥🦷 Brushing teeth – Can my child brush their teeth for a full 2 minutes? Do they get good coverage while brushing? Can they squeeze the toothpaste onto their brush?

🥗🍔 Mealtimes – Can my child use a knife, fork, and spoon without support? Do they sit for the whole meal or get up and play throughout? Do they need an iPad to stay seated? Does food go everywhere when they eat?

🚽🧻 Toileting – Can my child use the toilet on their own? Can they manage their clothing in there? Do they need help to wipe their own bottom? Can they remember to wash their hands afterwards?

🫧🧼 Bathing – Does my child happily have a bath or shower? Do they try to wash themselves or do I help them with everything, from soaping up to rinsing off? Can they dry themself?

There are many parts of essential self-care that we often take for granted being able to do ourselves — so stop and ponder if your child might need a little extra help from us!

✂️ Cutting Skills ✂️

Using scissors and practicing our cutting skills can be extremely tricky! Here are some fun, play-based activities we can do to develop cutting skills:

🤏🏻 Tweezer games – Games which incorporate the use of tweezers such as Fruit Avalanche, Operation, Noodle Knockout, and Silly Science.

🫘 Sensory bins – Using tweezers or ball scissors to pick out animal counters or other small items from sensory bins filled with coloured rice, dry pasta, beans, kinetic sand, or Theraputty.

🎾 Tennis ball Pac-Man – Cut a slit in a tennis ball and squeeze on either side of the slit to open and close the mouth. Marbles or small counters can be used as food for Pac-Man to eat!

🪧 Cutting different textures – Use scissors to cut Play-Doh, Theraputty, cardboard, or felt.

✂️ Adaptive scissors – Try different scissors that support the child’s needs. Loop scissors and training scissors spring open automatically, helping with the opening and closing motion.

🚗 Adding the child’s interests to scissors – Incorporate the child’s favourite themes to boost engagement. For example, tape a printed-out car to the blades of the scissors so it looks like the car is driving along the road while cutting lines.

Finding your child doesn’t want to engage in fine motor tasks such as writing? 📝

Use their interests! 🚂 🚃 🚄

Our occupational therapist, Amy, used her client’s interest in trains to create pretend train tracks and encouraged them to work on their grasp 👌, pencil control ✍️, and letter formation 🔠 by guiding the train along the track with their marker!

Morning Drop-offs ☀️

Morning drop-offs can be a challenging time for our little ones. One simple suggestion we can try is having a transitional object. Whether it's their favourite toy 🚒, fidget 🪢, or cuddle companion 🧸, it can provide them with a sense of comfort and security when having that big morning transition.

🎭 Developing Pretend Play Skills in Children 🎭

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Zi Mei Events workshop presented by Dr Siobhan Casey, focused on supporting pretend play using the Learn to Play framework 🧸

🔶 Why Pretend Play Matters
Pretend play is essential for developing a child’s imagination, emotional understanding, social interaction, and problem-solving skills. Through play, children make sense of their world in a safe and creative way.

🧠 Key Concepts from Learn to Play
📝 Play Scripts – Using familiar routines or stories to guide play
🔁 Sequences of Play Actions – Linking actions together in meaningful, logical steps
🔄 Object Substitution – Using one object to represent another
🧸 Doll/Teddy Play – Exploring emotions and experiences through toys
🎭 Role Play – Taking on different characters or roles
🤝 Social Pretend Play – Creating and sharing imaginative play with others

These skills support so many areas of development, including storytelling, problem-solving, emotional regulation, social interaction, flexible thinking, and planning. Pretend play is a powerful tool to help children grow, connect, and express themselves.

🌈 Understanding the Zones of Regulation 🌈
Helping children recognize, understand, and manage their emotions is a key part of developing self-regulation skills — and that’s where the Zones of Regulation framework shines.

Each zone represents a different state of alertness and emotion:
🔵 Blue Zone – Sad, tired, bored, sick
🟢 Green Zone – Happy, calm, focused, ready to learn
🟡 Yellow Zone – Frustrated, silly, worried, excited
🔴 Red Zone – Angry, terrified, out of control

These tools and resources are used in therapy sessions to support emotional awareness, build coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for self-regulation.

Today’s OT session was all about the power of setting personal goals. Our client wanted to learn how to make a mango smoothie so he could be more independent with preparing his own breakfast.

We worked on his organisation, planning and sequencing skills. 🥭
When children set their own goals, it boosts their sense of ownership, motivation, and independence.

The joy and pride on his face when he achieved it was priceless! 🏆 He was thrilled to take home a copy of the recipe so he could make it for his family.

These moments are not just about learning a new skill—they’re about building confidence and empowering kids to take charge of their own growth.

🔶 Helping Your Child Thrive with the Carolina Curriculum 🔶
As occupational therapists, we love using the Carolina Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers with Special Needs to support kids’ development. It helps us assess where they’re at and create personalised therapy plans that focus on things like fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, and social interaction—one step at a time.

🌱 Why It’s a Game-Changer
Early intervention makes a huge difference! By breaking skills into small, achievable steps, we make therapy fun, engaging, and play-based, so kids learn in a way that feels natural.

👶 Our Goal?
To help your child build confidence, reach milestones, and develop the skills they need to navigate the world. With the right support, even small steps lead to big progress!
