Halloween Sensory Bin 👻🎃

Sensory bins are just that... they enhance sensory exploration through sight, smell, hearing,and touch.

The kids LOVED finding all the hidden objects, counting them, hiding the objects, and exploring ways to play and interact with the items.

Brain focus activities!

Enhanced Focus: 

Concentrating on using both hands simultaneously naturally improves concentration and attention. 

Improved Bilateral Coordination: 

These activities help the brain learn to coordinate both sides of the body smoothly, a key skill for tasks like writing, cutting, and dressing. 

Brain Integration: 

Using both hands together requires the brain's hemispheres to communicate and integrate their functions, leading to more efficient brain processes.

Did you know that we are certified in Functional Movement Taping (FMT)?
Functional Movement Taping (FMT) is a kinesiology taping technique that uses elastic tape to support the body's natural healing and movement by enhancing fluid dynamics, improving muscle activation, and reducing pain. By applying the tape in specific patterns, FMT creates a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism that lifts the skin, improves circulation, and influences nerve signals, all without restricting range of motion.

*Picture 1, FMT is used to provide support to an unstable ankle joint.

*Picture 2, FMT is used to increase finger and wrist extension

Tangrams!
A tangram is a Chinese dissection puzzle made from seven flat polygons (tans) that fit together to form shapes, such as animals, letters, or geometric figures. These tangram help build so many functional skills:
✨️ spatial reasoning: flipping, turning, and fitting the shapes together
✨️ in hand manipulation (fine motor)
✨️ shape recognition 🟢🟨🔺️
✨️ problem solving
✨️ figure ground skills (being able to find the correct shape among the background)
✨️ focus and attention

Remember growing up? I still LOVE book fairs! Someone showed me this interactive "There Was An Old Lady" book and I immediately fell in love with it. Every single client has loved finding the items as I've read the book. Almost every one of them asked to do it again 🥰.
This has been great for:
* attention
* visual motor
* fine motor
* sensory
* auditory processing
* and a love for books 📚

Some children experience the world in a way that feels too much or not enough.

These are signs of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) – when the brain struggles to organise and respond to information from the senses.

Recognising these signs is the first step to understanding and supporting a child’s needs.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION VERSION COMING TOMORROW

A sensory processing checklist is available in NOW AVAILABLE - only £3.25 until 15 September 2025.
