Blowing bubbles isn’t just fun—it’s therapeutic! This simple activity encourages kids to take slow, controlled breaths, which can help regulate their nervous system and support self-calming skills.

Try turning it into a playful challenge:
✨ Who can blow the biggest bubble using the slowest breath?
✨ Can you blow a bubble and catch it on your wand without it popping?

💡 Therapist tip: Bubble play also strengthens oral motor muscles that support speech and feeding skills.

Let the giggles and deep breaths begin! 🫧

Messy play is more than just fun—it’s therapy in disguise!

Shaving cream on a tray gives kids valuable tactile input, helping them get comfortable with different textures while strengthening fine motor and prewriting skills.

💡 Try this at home:

-Spread shaving cream on a table or tray.

-Let your child draw shapes, letters, or numbers with their fingers.

-Add a few drops of food coloring or essential oils for an extra sensory twist.

It might look messy, but the benefits are huge:
✨ Improves sensory tolerance
✋ Strengthens finger muscles
🧠 Builds early writing and motor planning skills
😊 Encourages creativity and confidence

👉 Pro tip: Use a cookie sheet or bathtub surface for easy cleanup.

Let them squish, draw, and explore—the mess is worth it!

✨ Visual Timer Magic ✨

Transitions—like leaving the playground, getting ready for bed, or cleaning up toys—can feel tricky for kids because “5 minutes” is hard to picture. A visual timer shows time disappearing in a way they can see.

👀 Why it helps:

-Makes “invisible” time more concrete
-Reduces frustration and surprises during transitions

-Builds independence and time awareness
-Creates smoother routines at home, school, and therapy

💡 Try this at home:

-Set a visual timer for clean-up time—kids can watch the red/pie shape shrink as playtime ends.
-Use it for homework, screen time, or bedtime routines.
-For younger kids, start with short amounts (2–5 minutes) and gradually build up.

Helping kids “see” time pass = less stress, more success! ⏳💙

Need a quick reset between activities? 🕒 Animal Walks are the perfect mix of play and regulation!

👉 Try a round of bear crawls (hands + feet on the floor, hips up high), crab walks (belly up, walking backward on hands and feet), or frog jumps (low squat + hop forward).

✨ Why it works:

-Builds core and upper body strength
-Provides deep pressure + heavy work for sensory input
-Helps kids release extra energy and come back focused and ready
-Adds imagination—kids love pretending to be animals! 🐾

💡 Use these between homework tasks, during activity transitions, or even while waiting for dinner to cook. A few minutes can make a big difference in attention and regulation.

Give these ideas a try:

🐸 Frog Jump Challenge
"How many frog jumps can you do in 30 seconds? Count them out loud and see if you can beat your score next time!"

🐻 Bear Crawl Race
"Set a start and finish line—can you bear crawl from one side of the room to the other without letting your knees touch the floor? Bonus: race a family member!"

🦀 Crab Walk Countdown
"Start in crab walk position and see if you can move 10 steps forward and 10 steps backward!"

Rolling up like a burrito isn’t just silly fun—it can also be regulating for kids! When you wrap your child up in a blanket (like a burrito 🫔), the firm pressure around their body gives calming proprioceptive input. This type of sensory input helps many children feel more grounded, safe, and secure.

✨ Tips to try:

-Let your child decide how tight the “wrap” should be.

-Add gentle squeezes or “toppings” (like a pillow on top!) if they enjoy it.

-Keep it playful—sing a burrito song or let them “order” their toppings.

Remember: every child’s sensory system is unique. Always follow their cues and keep it fun!

Back-to-school season means more time sitting for homework, reading, and classroom learning—and that can be tough on focus. One simple tool to support attention? Oral input!

Chewing crunchy or chewy foods (like apples, carrots, granola bars, or even a piece of licorice) gives the body organizing sensory input, which can help kids stay regulated and attentive during seated tasks.

Try offering one of these snacks before or during homework to give your child’s brain and body an extra boost for focus and learning. 🍏✏️📚

🏡 Try This At Home: Fine Motor Friday!

Looking for a screen-free activity that builds hand strength?

🧺 Try this: Have your child use kitchen tongs to pick up pom-poms, cotton balls, or snack items and sort them into cups.

It builds coordination, hand strength, and attention—plus it's fun and easy to clean up!
