This week, our friends have been busy making reindeer food to help fuel Santa’s reindeer for their big night! 🦌🥣

✨ Sprinkle on the lawn at night,
the moon will make it sparkle bright.
As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam,
this will guide them to your home!✨

🧁👩🏼‍🍳When kids bake or cook (for reindeer or people) they are building fine motor skills, hand strength, exploring their senses, and learning to follow multi-step directions!

Looking for an easy indoor activity as the weather gets colder?❄️Try out this tape toy rescue!

You will need:
🧩A toy with large pieces - toys with pegs or puzzle pieces work well!
💙Tape - use painters tape to protect your walls!

To Set It Up:
✨Tape the pegs or puzzle pieces to the wall
✨The more tape you add, the more challenging the rescue!
✨Add an extra challenge by spreading out the piece in a room, challenging your child to scan and find each piece!

How to Play:
🧩Pull each toy off the wall
💙Peel the tape off each piece
✨Put the toy or puzzle back together

While your child is having fun, they are also building hand strength, bilateral coordination, and visual motor integration skills needed to build independence and play!

🧹Kids build confidence and self-esteem when they help adults. 😁 Learning basic chores through play builds skills that can last a lifetime! Try this clean up activity while building strength, balance, 2 handed coordination and body control.

You will need:
🧹Dustpan and brush (Child-sized works best and cost $1!)
🍁Small items (toys, feathers, cotton balls, or scraps of paper)
🗑️A container

To Set It Up:
✨Scatter items on the floor. Place a collection bin 5-10 feet away (& Further as they get better!)

How to Play:
🧹Demonstrate how to hold brush with dominant hand while positioning dustpan with other hand.
🗑️Show child how to brush items onto the dustpan, carry to bin, and drop in.

🏆Make it a challenge: Place bin further away or use lighter objects that could blow away
💭Make them think: Use two bins and sort as you collect. “Put the cotton balls in that bin and the plastic cubes in the other.”
🎭Make it dramatic: Carry the items in a bowl, then pretend to trip and spill them all over. Then plead with child for help and give lots of positive reinforcement when they participate. This works well for reluctant helpers.
👣Make your PT happy: This is an excellent activity for “toe walkers!”
