This week’s Toy of the Week is a Fire Station & Truck 🚒✨
This open ended play setup sparks imagination, storytelling and problem solving as kids create their own rescue adventures.

Try joining in by asking questions like:
“Where is the fire?” 🔥
“How will the firefighter get there?” 🚨
“What tools will they need to help?”

Simple prompts like these encourage language skills, flexible thinking, and creativity while you play together.

Here’s a winter craft that grows over time ❄️✨
Create a large snowflake on cardboard or canvas, then invite your child to add stickers along the lines a little at a time. It’s a project they can return to for days or weeks, building fine motor skills, focus, and creativity with every sticker placed!

Here’s a healthy, cozy twist on hot chocolate that’s sure to warm your little one from the inside out! 🍫✨
Instead of using traditional sugar, this simple recipe swaps in honey or maple syrup for a naturally sweet boost and it’s just as delicious.

Invite your child to help with the fun parts: measuring, pouring, and mixing. These small steps build independence, confidence, and motor skills… and make the treat taste even sweeter when they help create it! 🥰☕️

Let’s turn chores into play! 🧺❄️
Set up an indoor “snowball toss” using rolled up socks and a laundry basket. Have your child match and fold the socks first (hello life skills + fine motor practice!), then toss them into the basket from different spots to work on coordination and motor planning, all while helping with laundry!
