Swipe for 5 Kidspot approved homework hacks that support regulation and focus:
💪 A few minutes of movement before sitting
🧸 Fidgets instead of “sit still”
📌 Tiny chunks of work with tiny breaks
✏️ Fun writing tools to keep hands busy
⏱️ A simple timer so they know a break is coming

None of these are “extra.” They’re small, doable shifts that help kids feel safer, calmer, and more successful during homework time.

👻 Spooky season is here! At Kidspot, we love turning Halloween into a chance for learning, creativity, and connection! 🧡 From fine motor fun to language-building play, here are some boo-tiful ways to learn while you play!

🕷️ Try these Halloween-themed activities:
1. Pumpkin Scoop & Sort – Strengthen fine motor skills by scooping seeds and sorting by size or texture.
2. Monster Moves – Practice gross motor skills by jumping, crawling, and stomping like different Halloween creatures!
3. Storytime Shadows – Use flashlights to make shadow puppets and tell spooky (but silly!) stories.
4. Sensory Potion Play – Mix colored water, glitter, and safe household items to make “magic potions” that teach measuring and color mixing.
5. Trick-or-Treat Speech Game – Practice articulation or new words by naming each item that goes into the treat bag.

Learning doesn’t have to stop when the costumes come out Halloween is full of playful opportunities to grow!
