Playful ways to practice breathing exercises as a regulation tool today. We got very into the colourful bubbles and learned “hot chocolate breathing “, even making clay hot chocolate models to take home to practice with. All of the information we cover in sessions is emailed home to families each week for continued learning, practice, as well as fun photos to see what fun their kids got up to!

The apple master is one of our favourite tools for fine motor skills and developing confidence in kids as they get a lot of satisfaction from peeling, coring, and slicing their own apple and then enjoying a delicious snack! 🍎

Task analysis today to work on executive function goals. The kids worked together to break down the different steps in a gardening activity and had fun creating dragon hair pots. Breaking down complex, multi-step tasks and providing visual cues can be helpful to work towards functional goals in daily life such as morning routines.

When you’re already dressed for rain, embrace water play! We had lots of fun with our water balloon launcher and mud kitchen play today - lots of opportunity for collaboration, turn taking, planning, conflict resolution, and lots of sensory exposure through splashing in puddles and squishing our feet in the mud!

Another glorious day of winter sun! Today we started learning about different body sensations and played some fun games to teach body scans, a foundation of self regulation. We also had so much fun exploring the forest, stream, ice crystals, and plants around us.

An absolutely spectacular warm sunny day to start off our winter groups! It was so nice to meet the new families today and see familiar faces!

The emphasis on today was relationship building - lots of playful games and exploring to help the kids become more comfortable with us, the other children, and the areas we will be exploring in future weeks. Looking forward to a great winter ahead!

Soaking up special time on winter break with our own kids, but also looking ahead to our winter session starting in January. We’ve started booking intake assessments and still have one spot left in our winter groups - please email if you have any questions!

Last day of fall session today was a wet one but we had so much fun with the kids playing games, splashing in every puddle in sight, learning about different kinds of mushrooms, reviewing regulation tools, and crafting.

It’s such a privilege to learn, play and explore with this incredible group of kids. This fall was also our first time running two concurrent groups of FKOT and expanding our amazing team - so grateful for our staff and volunteers for all of their love, playfulness, kindness, hard work, and for enthusiastically braving the elements week after week in this rainy fall. ❤️

What’s next for FKOT? Our team will be working on individual reports and recommendations for each child, and then gearing up for our winter 2026 groups!
