Our 5 favorite sensory play tools ✨

Sensory play isn’t just fun-it’s foundational. These go-to tools help support regulation, body awareness, fine motor skills, and confidence through play.

From calming big feelings to building focus and coordination, these are staples we reach for again and again in sessions 🤍

Did you know? 🧠

When kids squeeze a ball between their knees, they activate deep core and hip stabilizers - the same ones that prevent W-sitting, flat feet, and poor posture later on.

Leaving OT sessions is not easy..

It’s a reminder of how much growth has happened and how meaningful that safe space has become. 🤍

These excersises strengthen motor planning, bilateral coordination, and fine motor control-all essential foundations for success in the classroom and beyond. ✨

Surrounded by fun? Listening gets a lot harder! ✨

Occupational therapy helps kids build the underlying skills that support listening- like sensory regulation, auditory processing, and executive functioning. 🤍

These three simple OT exercises do so much more than get kids moving.
They strengthen the brain–body connection-especially for kids who need extra support with focus, coordination, and regulation.

Why I love these:

🧠 Encourage crossing the midline
🧠 Build bilateral integration
🧠 Improve core stability
🧠 Support integration of retained primitive reflexes
🧠 Help regulate the sensory system

Incorporate them daily to boost learning, behavior, and foundational skills like reading and writing.

Postural control is the foundation that helps children sit upright, move with stability, and use their hands effectively during play and learning. 🧠🧩

Strengthening the core and giving kids opportunities for movement can help build the stability their body needs to stay focused and coordinated.

11/26/2025

Overstimulation can happen when a child’s sensory system takes in more input than it can process. 🧠✨

Look for signs like sudden meltdowns, zoning out, clinginess, restlessness, or heightened emotions. Recognizing these cues early helps you guide them toward regulation.
