Painting can be super beneficial for kids in pediatric OT because it helps improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sensory processing. Painting can also be really helpful socially and emotionally. It gives kids a chance to express their feelings and emotions non-verbally, which can be especially great for those who have a hard time putting their feelings into words. Plus, group painting activities can encourage teamwork, sharing, and communication, which all help with social skills.

Looking for ways to spend your summer days? Chalk is a super versatile activity for kids! It encourages creativity and self-expression. Writing with chalk helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, plus it's a fun way to practice letters, numbers, and shapes. Sidewalk chalk gets kids outside and active, turning driveways into canvases for art and play.

Did you know that occupational therapists use games as a super fun way to help kids develop important skills?

Games aren't just for fun — they're powerful tools that our OTs at CDOT like to use to work on everything from fine motor skills to emotional regulation.

Games help kids develop problem solving skills by encouraging them to think strategically and creatively. They also boost confidence as kids master new challenges and achieve goals within the game.

Activities like board games teach children to follow rules, take turns, and manage their emotions — while fine motor skills get a workout through activities like puzzles and building blocks, enhancing hand-eye coordination. Visual motor skills are improved through games that require visual tracking and spatial awareness, such as mazes or connect-the-dots.

So next time you see a child playing, remember they're not just having fun—they're building essential skills for life with the help of OTs who know how to make learning an adventure!

A great example of an intrinsic muscle strengthening activity is tissue paper art. You can create cool collages, mosaics, and other designs with it. Tissue paper art can help kids improve their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and dexterity. Plus it's a fun way to work on bilateral coordination by using both hands together. It involves crossing midline, working with multi steps and pattern following. It’s also great for sensory exposure using different textures.

Balance challenges are often used in pediatric settings to assess and improve motor skills, coordination, and stability in children. By using balance tools around the clinic we had our kiddos sequence different courses for each other which helped demonstrate creative organization and executive functioning.
