A conversation overheard every day in our waiting room, "We are not here to 'fix' your child. Our job is to give you and your child the tools they need to function in the world today and ten years from now."
This article is a small reflection on that idea...

There are different ways to be happy and function well, even if your brain is not typical

🌧 RAINY DAY ACTIVITY 🌧

SUPPLY LIST:
✔️A drop cloth/table cloth/giant garbage bag
✔️Tray
✔️Shaving cream

OPTIONAL:
✔️Stickers
✔️Giant Marbles or small toys to bury
✔️Bowl or jar
✔️Spoon
✔️Paintbrush

Our Steps (you can modify it for your toys easily too!):
1. Protect your floors
2. Put stickers all over tray
3. Cover tray in shaving cream - spread with hands and feet
4. Add marbles
5. Roll marbles in shaving cream to “hide” them
6. Scoop marbles up with spoon and drop into jar (great way to practice scooping since shaving cream makes everything stick to the spoon)
7. Use paintbrush to uncover the stickers on the tray (it felt like we were on an archeological dig - we used dinosaurs 🦕 stickers)

CLEAN UP
🛁 transport child (without clothes preferably) and all material to bath or shower
🚿Give child cup to rinse the shaving cream off the tray (this held his attention for almost 10 minutes!)
🖌 Then give child marbles, paintbrushes and spoons to rinse under the tap
🧼Remove all clean items, rinse shaving cream off of child

💤NAP TIME! 💤

Seriously you guys - this one activity lasted 60+ MINUTES!!! It was so modifiable and so interesting on so many levels. I’m sure are dozens of other ways to modify it for next time! It was well worth the temporary mess!!

This was such a PARENTING WIN and is such a great therapeutic activity for little ones who need it. Happy rainy day play time to all of you!!

With this ONE TASK ✂️we were able to address: , , and .

🤲 Both hands = working together to hold the paper while one hand colors or cuts.

👁 Visual attention and eye hand coordination = looking at what our hand is doing and direct it while coloring and cutting.

🖐 🏋️‍♂️Hand strength = cutting with scissors

🗣🎶 Social engagement = singing the song (we sang the song on a swing first and worked on sitting balance).
