Here is our cool team build from earlier this month! Our team loves getting together to create a new activity for our clients to explore! Crawling across the ball road, bolster swings, and a suspended ladder, is a fun way to gain some proprioceptive input!

Of course we had to test it out! 😉

Activity Highlight! ❄⛄🌨

In the spirit of the snow outside, one of our client's had a fun idea for a snowplow themed game!

Such a creative concept while also targeting many different areas such as postural control, bilateral coordination, visual vestibular skills, and more!

The goal is to scoop the snowballs one at a time into the tire swing while laying on your stomach in the cloth hammock "to clear the streets of snow"!

Happy plowing! ❄

Oral Motor Activity Highlight: Snowball Transfer! ❄

This activity is simple and easy to do as a quick cooldown or can be expanded in various directions to target what you’re working on more specifically.

Ways to grade it to find the “Just Right Match":

❄️ Use shorter straws to reduce breath control demands, or you can use longer straws to increase the challenge!

❄️ Explore different positions to play in: standing, prone propped on elbows, or in quadruped!

❄️ Create a piece of art with your snowballs for your clients motivated by crafts by making them into a snowflake!

Have fun!!

Fine Motor Activity Highlight! 🎨🖌

This New Year's pom-pom painting is a great way to start off the first month of the year while also targeting fine motor skills! Make sure to have a visual model to provide some inspiration and support praxis skills.

Materials:
🎨 Construction paper
🎨 Number templates
🎨 Paint
🎨 Pom poms
🎨 Clothespins
🎨 Tape

Steps:
1. First, place the number templates onto your paper. It can be helpful to tape them down (with loops of blue paint), hold them down with one hand, or have an adult hold them.
2. Next, hold a pompom with a clothespin. Dip the pompom into paint.
3. Now, dab the paint on the paper. Be sure to dab along the edges of the numbers.
4. Finally, peel the numbers off your painting.
5. Have fun!
