🐇🐣With Easter just around the corner, this is a great time to learn how to target language with a classic holiday activity!💐🌷

With a simple egg hunt, you can target:

🐥DESCRIBING: Can your child use prepositions to describe where the egg is hiding? The egg is IN the basket. The egg is UNDER the chair.

🥚LABELING: Can you identify the shape, color, or item hidden inside the Easter egg? The shark lives in the ocean. Inside the egg is a blue star or a purple circle.

🐰EXPANDING UTTERANCES: As the adult, add on to what your child says. Your child says “egg,” you say “pink egg!”.

At Justabout Pediatric Therapy, we value using real world play, such as an egg hunt, to target meaningful skill development! 💌Contact us to learn more about our speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy services!

Who doesn’t love stickers?!

For this activity you will need:
🗒️Paper taped to a vertical surface at child’s eye level
😊Stickers

To play:
💗Have your child stand facing the paper, with an adult sitting on the floor next to child
😊 Place a sticker on top of child’s foot
🧍‍♂️Have your child lift their foot and retrieve the sticker using their opposite hand

This activity addresses many developmental skills:
⚖️Balance: standing on one foot is important for stepping over obstacles and going up and down the stairs
🧠Crossing midline: Midline is an imaginary vertical line down the center of the body. This skill strengthens communication between both sides of the brain. Crossing midline is essential for everyday activities such as opening a door, getting dressed, turning pages of a book, taking a shower, and more.
🤝Bilateral coordination: Good coordination is needed for many fun childhood activities such as hitting a baseball, riding a bike, building with legos, stringing beads, coloring, kicking a ball, and running with friends.
🧍🏽‍♀️Body awareness: A child with poor body awareness often bumps into other children, trips and falls over obstacles, or has difficulty with imitation games (like Simon Says). This activity builds body awareness.

We’d love you to please share this post with friends so that they can try it too!

Are you trying to stay warm while waiting for spring to arrive? 🥶⏳🌈Try this fine motor play activity, using supplies from home to make your own hot cocoa! ☕

You will need:
☕ A mug - for little ones, use a plastic cup to prevent accidents!
📦 A piece of cardboard or thick paper
⭐ Q-tips

Set it up:
📦 Cut the cardboard or paper into a circle to fit the top of the mug
⭐ Poke small holes through the circle
☕ Tape the circle to the top of your mug
⭐ Cut the q-tips in half to make your marshmallows

How to play:
☕ Keep it simple - have your child simply put in and take out the marshmallows, using their “pinchers”
⭐ Add a dice - Roll a dice, add or remove the number of marshmallows shown on the dice
☕ Play cafe - Place an order for your mini barista, asking for a specific number of marshmallows in your order
⭐ Add a fine motor challenge - When taking out the marshmallows, can they wiggle the marshmallow from their fingers into their palm without dropping them? Can they pass the marshmallow between their hands without dropping them?

💗🖐🏼✨While your child is making their perfect cup of hot chocolate, they are building foundational fine motor and visual motor skills, including developing their pincer grasp and in-hand manipulation.

💌Contact us today to learn how our therapists can help your child to meet developmental milestones and build new skills through play! We have immediate openings for PT, OT, and speech therapy!
