The Toy of the Week is ....
Bean Bags!

We use bean bags for a range of activities. They can be great for creating opportunities to follow the child's lead and commenting as we play. We also love them because they allow us to provide children with alternative items to throw, ensuring children can meet their sensory needs safely.

Later this week, we will share how we use bean bags to support speech sound sessions ☺️

Happy World Book Day!

Books are so important in supporting children’s language and vocabulary development. We use a range of books in therapy to support lots of different
communication skills 😊 📚

For young children sharing books is all about having fun and spending special time together. Sharing books and stories with children helps develop their listening, language, communication and early literacy skills.

At The Hive we love to use 'That's not my ...' books📖
And the children love them too ☺️

Below, we have shared some ideas on how to use books to follow your child's lead and support communication and language. Such as:

- Have a book of your own and copy what they do with the book e.g. turning pages
- Let your child choose the books and be prepared to read your child’s favourite books again and again
- Leave a pause for your child to fill in the words in a story they know e.g. ‘that's my giraffe, its spots are so .....’

She’s kind, caring, and brings so much joy to the children she supports — and to all of us in the office too. 💛

We hope she’s having the loveliest birthday and enjoying a very well‑deserved break this week! 🌟

As a team we embrace "all play is okay". This promotes inclusivity and diversity in all play experiences. It acknowledges that different children have unique interests, abilities, and choices when it comes to play. By respecting and accommodating these differences, adults can support each child's individual preferences during play.

And by fostering an environment where all forms of play are embraced and celebrated, we empower children to develop essential skills, express creativity, build relationships, and navigate the world around them with confidence and joy. Following a child’s lead in play, is also a valuable way to support their overall communication skills.

I have officially completed Module 4 and am now an Advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner!

I’m so excited to bring this deeper knowledge into my therapy sessions—supporting children through sensory-informed, relationship-centred approaches that help them feel regulated, connected, and ready to communicate.

This weeks Toy of the Week is the hammer bench!

This has been great for creating opportunities to follow the child's lead and commenting as we play. Children love this and it's lots of fun!

- Supports body awareness through a fun hammering action

- Can be used to offer choices e.g. "yellow or blue"

- You can use this toy alongside communication boards to model language such as "do it again"

- Can be used to model spoken language such as "down", "more", "this is fun"

This month we are focusing on the theme of love, connection and communication both in our newsletter and on our social media. 💗

The Hive's book of the month for February is 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam McBratney. We love it because we can use actions to support understanding such as stretching your arms wide when you read "I love you this much... stretching out his arms as wide as they can go" or reaching your arms up when you read "I love you as high as I can reach". 🙋‍♀️

Book sharing looks different for everyone! Every child’s attention span develops differently. Story time doesn’t have to mean sitting still.
