Busy week? There is still time to sneak in speech practice!

🎲 Try this 5-minute game:

- Roll a dice
- Say that many words with a sound that you're working on
- Or use the number in a sentence
- Or clap syllables that many times

No prep. No stress. Just fun and practice!

OT Add-On:
Have your child roll the dice, pick it up with fingers (pincer grasp!), or stack dice before starting.

⚖️ Event Spotlight: Balance Beam Listening Challenge

Listening and following directions takes focus, processing, and body awareness, just like balancing on a beam!

This event builds:
👂 Receptive language (understanding directions)
🧠 Auditory processing
💪 Core strength and balance
👣 Motor planning and coordination

When kids balance while listening, their brains and bodies are working together, and that connection supports learning in powerful ways.

At home idea:
➡️ Create a “balance beam” using tape on the floor or a sidewalk crack.

➡️ Give 1–3 step directions like:
• “Walk to the end and clap twice.”
• “Take three steps, turn around, then stomp.”
• “Walk heel-to-toe and say your name.”

Cheer them on as they complete each step!

Strong listening skills — and strong bodies — help kids succeed both in and out of therapy 💛🐝

🤸 Event Spotlight: Fine Motor Gymnastics
(Just because there’s no gymnastics in the Winter Olympics doesn’t mean we can’t do them for skills practice!)

These skills help kids build strength, coordination, and control in their hands and fingers — which supports writing, self-help skills, and confidence.

Try this at home:
✔ Bead stringing
✔ Stickers or dot markers
✔ Play-Doh pinching and rolling

Stick the landing, one small movement at a time 🏅

Event Spotlight: Speech Sprint

This event is all about practicing sounds, words, and sentences in short, fun bursts.

Think “ready, set, say!" Quick turns, big smiles, and lots of encouragement.

Examples of Speech Sprint targets:
➡️ Sounds: p, b, m, t, d, s
➡️ Words: pop, ball, go, stop, bee, more
➡️ Short phrases: “my turn,” “go fast,” “I did it!”

At-home tip:
🚗 Race toy cars and say a word each time the car zooms by
🤸 Jump in place and say a sound or word with every jump

Happy Groundhog Day from Bee’s Knees! 🐝✨

Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter…
so we’re leaning into cozy learning! ❄️

Here are a few fun ways to keep speech + OT skills growing while you’re waiting for spring!

🐾 Animal Sounds & Words – Practice “groundhog,” “burrow,” “pop out,” and “winter”

🧤 Fine Motor Fun – Hide little toys in a blanket “burrow” and dig them out

📖 Story Time Talk – Read a winter book and ask: What do you think Phil will do next?

🎯 Movement Breaks – Do “hibernate stretches” or “pop up like a groundhog” jumps

Winter may last a little longer, but learning doesn’t have to hibernate! 💛

Growth is happening… even when you don’t see it.

Skills are building.
Connections are forming.
Confidence is growing.

And then one day, it clicks.

A new word comes out more clearly.
A task feels easier.
A child does something they couldn’t do before — almost without realizing it.

At Bee’s Knees, we believe therapy is about celebrating strengths, supporting each child’s unique needs, and honoring their individual timeline.

There is no “right” pace.
There is only your journey — and we’re honored to walk it with you.

It's National Bubble Wrap Day! 🫧
Who knew a packing material could double as a therapy tool?

Try these speech + OT–approved ways to pop and play at home:

🗣 Speech & Language
• Say “pop!” for each bubble
• Practice target sounds or words before popping
• Take turns popping to work on waiting + requesting
• Count pops out loud (hello, early language + math!)

👐 OT & Regulation
• Finger isolation and hand strength with tiny pops
• Bilateral coordination using two hands
• Deep breathing: inhale… pop! exhale…pop!
• Stress relief + sensory fun for busy bodies

Simple. Satisfying. And secretly therapeutic. 💥
Who’s popping bubbles at your house today?

Stay W-A-R-M today! 🥶❄️

W – Wrap up
Practice naming clothing items, colors, and sizes while bundling up.

A – Art
Cutting, gluing, coloring, and crafts build fine motor skills and spark language.

R – Read together
Cozy books = vocabulary, comprehension, and connection.

M – Move your body
Indoor obstacle courses, yoga, or dance breaks help regulation and motor skills.

Staying warm and learning?
That’s the Bee’s Knees!

Brrr—it’s cold out! ❄️

Talk about coats, boots, scarves, hats, and mittens as you get ready to head out into the frigid temperatures this week.

Everyday winter routines build language, sequencing, and independence!

Stay Warm!!
