Some fun and easy autumnal ideas for practicing fine motor skills with the kids!

🍂 Fall Fine Motor Activities
-Pick up acorns or small pinecones with tongs and sort into containers
-Crumple tissue paper into balls to make a fall tree craft
-Use clothespins to clip paper leaves onto string (leaf garland)
-Peel stickers to decorate pumpkins or paper cutouts
-Thread beads or pasta onto yarn to make “fall necklaces”
-Tear colored paper to make a fall collage
-Push small items (like pom-poms) into a pumpkin ice cube tray
-Use a hole punch on leaf shapes to create “leaf confetti”
-Transfer pumpkin seeds with tweezers or a spoon
-Practice tracing or drawing fall shapes (pumpkins, leaves, acorns)
-Wrap yarn around cardboard cutouts of pumpkins or leaves
-Use playdough to press in acorns, seeds, or leaf prints

Meet the newest member of the Pivot Point family: Marigold! She'll be moving into the barn in just a few short days. She's a Katahdin sheep just like our sweet Ash. And just like Ash, she was bottle-fed as a baby so is very friendly with people as a result. We just know she's going to fit right in with the flock and be great with the kids.

Partnering with Central Ohio Music Therapy, LLC has been an INVALUABLE addition to our practice. Speech, language, music, rhythm, song, dance, emotional connection, and communication are all intrinsically intertwined. One enhances the other in unexpected and moving ways. I can’t imagine speech therapy without music therapy ever again! 🥰🥰💃🕺🏼🎼🎹🪇🪘🪕

“Communication with Connection” is the motto of our partner, Pivot Point Speech Therapy in Athens! Our music therapists Hannah and Stephanie work with clients every week at Pivot Point, and we believe that music therapy allows the perfect opportunity for creative expression and connection to promote communication. Yes, even if that means wearing Halloween costumes during the session! 🦖🐍🎵
