🐸 The Tale of Tiddalik the Frog

Tiddalik is a famous story from Australian Indigenous Dreaming Stories (also called “Molok” in some language groups). It’s about a frog who drinks all the water in the land, teaching us about humour, thinking of others, and the importance of community.

🎨 Want to bring Tiddalik to life? Try this fun craft! You’ll need:
- Green paint
- Eyes
- Red paint
- Paper plate
- Green paper

Don’t forget to leave a hole in the paper plate so Tiddalik’s tongue can pop in and out!

Puppets Are More Than Play

Puppets aren’t just cute, they’re tools that can help children express feelings they can’t yet put into words.

How Puppets Can Help Children Externalize Emotions
Children often find it easier to talk through a puppet than directly about themselves.
A puppet can:

• Speak the feeling (“I’m angry today!”)
• Demonstrate the emotion when it feels too big to name
• Create distance that makes vulnerable feelings feel safer
• Act as a protective buffer for tricky conversations

This gentle “one step removed” approach lets children explore feelings and can help this feel less overwhelming .

Why Some Children Open Up Faster With a Puppet
Puppets can feel:

• Non-threatening, they’re soft, funny, playful
• Relatable, children may project their inner world onto them
• Empowering, the child becomes the puppet’s “voice,” giving them agency
• Expressive, puppets, can exaggerate emotions in ways children recognize

For many children, especially those who are anxious, shy, or emotionally guarded, puppets offer a method of communication that feels gentle and supportive.

Top 5 OT recommended gifts for Gross motor skill development

When Choosing the Right Gift it is important to consider the following:
• Match to the child’s age and ability: Choose items that are safe and appropriately challenging.
• Safety first: Ensure there's enough space to use larger items like trampolines and therapy balls safely.
• Use open-ended toys: Toys that don’t prescribe exactly how to play (like peanut balls or foam blocks) give kids room to invent their own gross-motor games — great for kids who benefit from flexible play.
• Rotate toys: To keep engagement high, rotate different gross motor toys in and out so play doesn’t get stale.
• Supervision: For many of these, especially when balance or elevation is involved, adult supervision is important until the child masters the skills.

Discover the World with “Our Beautiful World”

Our Speech Pathologist Claire has a new favourite book. “Our Beautiful World” by Sarah Speedie takes children on a colourful journey around the globe, exploring different landscapes, animals, and cultures.

Why it’s great for young learners:
• Expands vocabulary with new places, animals, and descriptive words
• Builds early comprehension and sequencing skills
• Encourages conversation and storytelling
• Fosters curiosity and cultural awareness
• Supports listening, rhythm, and phonological awareness

Perfect for shared reading at home or in therapy, this book turns every page into a chance for learning and language growth.
