🎨🧩 Fun School Holiday Activities with Hidden Benefits! 🎲📚

Looking for engaging ways to keep the kids busy these school holidays? Here are two simple yet powerful activities that combine FUN and LEARNING!

1️⃣ Numberblocks and Counting Games
If your kids enjoy Numberblocks (or other counting-based games) they can work on developing essential math skills:
✅ Number recognition
✅ Counting and sequencing
✅ Building an understanding of addition and subtraction in a visual way

Turn it into a hands-on activity! Use blocks, counters, or even small household items to recreate what they see. This makes abstract concepts easier to grasp and builds confidence with numbers.

2️⃣ Playdough Fun
Playdough isn’t just for squishing – it’s a fantastic tool for developing fine motor skills and creativity:
✅ Strengthens hands for writing and cutting
✅ Improves coordination and finger control
✅ Encourages imaginative play, problem-solving and sensory exploration

Make it fun: Create letters, shapes, or make a favourite animal - just like our happy little penguin! You can even hide small objects in playdough for a treasure hunt!

These activities may seem simple, but they help build foundational skills that support learning at school and beyond. Plus, they’re great for family bonding ❤️

Had a great time sharing insights with an amazing group of educators today at Tyabb Primary School!

Connecting with schools and supporting professional growth is one of the best parts of what we do. Always inspired by the dedication and passion teachers bring to their students and communities. 👩🏽‍🏫👨‍🏫💭✍️

It’s the little things that make a big difference! Whether it’s tying shoelaces or leaning to grip a pencil, these fine motor skills can massively boost confidence and independence.

🧠💪

We often take these skills for granted... and they can be surprisingly hard to teach! Our OT's have all kinds of innovative strategies to help young people with all different learning styles achieve their independence goals. 🌟

We recently completed the assessment and approval process for an NDIS bathroom modification for a client living with Multiple Sclerosis. The goal was to enhance circulation space and overall usability, making daily tasks easier and safer, with the use of a wheelchair and shower commode. The left picture is before and right is after!
As an Occupational Therapist, it's rewarding to see how thoughtful design can transform a space and improve quality of life. Accessibility and independence are key! 💪✨

10/10/2024

Creating a safe, functional, and comfortable home starts with a comprehensive OT home assessment. 🏡 Our occupational therapists work with clients to assess their home environment and provide tailored recommendations that support independence and daily living.

At OTEP, we're dedicated to helping people live more active and independent lives, whether through modifying spaces or recommending adaptive equipment. 💡✨
