Today, we're offering ideas for some fun Standing Straw Games (kitchen-table friendly)!

Here's how to play: Use a straw to move pom-poms or candy pieces from plate to cup. Adjust table height so the head looks slightly down, then returns to neutral: great for gentle head/neck control. Try races with siblings!

Happy from OPT Therapy Services! This week, our therapists are sharing tips for building your kiddos knee strength based on age:

💙PreK: “Save the Toys”—place toys high/low; squat to rescue them.
💙5–8: Wall-slides to music—slide down when the beat drops.
💙9–13: “Floor is Lava” broad-jump path down the hallway.
