We’re back with Tip Tuesday!! 👀✨

Today we’re diving into **Visual Sequential Memory** — the superpower that helps kids remember *what they see in the correct order*! 🧠➡️

Think remembering the order of letters in a word, steps in a task, or even copying from the board without losing their place 📚✏️ This skill is a BIG deal for reading, spelling, maths, and following instructions with confidence! 💡

✨ The best part? This skill can be built through FUN, simple play-based activities at home! Stay tuned for Friday’s ideas… you won’t want to miss it 🎉

Got questions? Pop us a DM or drop a comment below — we love chatting with you! 🫶

🎉👀 FUNPLAY FRIDAY is here! 👀🎉
Let’s boost visual memory the fun way! 🧠✨
These playful, easy activities help children remember what they see—an important skill for reading, writing, spelling, and everyday learning 📚💡

✨ Today’s activities:

🔲 Grid Memory Game
Draw a simple grid and fill each block with pictures.
Let your child study it for 20–40 seconds, then cover it.
Can they redraw the pictures in the correct spots? 👀

🃏 Memory Match
Lay cards face down in rows (each has a matching pair).
Take turns flipping over two at a time:
• Match = keep the pair
• No match = flip them back
The goal? Remember where the cards are to make more matches!
💡 You can even create your own cards at home!

🧠 Kim’s Game
Place a few everyday objects (like a spoon, toy, pencil, key) on a table.
Give your child 20–60 seconds to look and remember them.
Then cover or remove the items and ask them to recall as many as they can!

🎉👀 FUNPLAY FRIDAY is here! 👀🎉
Let’s make learning FUN while building form constancy at home! 💡 These simple, playful activities help children recognise shapes, objects, and letters—even when they look different in size, colour, or position 🤪

✨ What we’re doing today:
🐾 Match the Animals
Mix up different sizes or colours of the same animals and ask your child to put “friends with friends.”
➡️ Level up: match real toys to pictures (3D ➡️ 2D!)

🏡 Shape Hunt at Home
Find everyday objects that match basic shapes! Draw a circle, square, and triangle, then match each object to its shape—any size, any colour!

🔍 Find the Same Shape
Draw shapes in different sizes, colours, and angles. Can your child spot and mark the matching ones?

🔤 Find the Same Letter
Write letters in different sizes and fonts—then let your child hunt for and circle all the matching ones!

⚠️ Disclaimer
These activities can, in no way, replace therapy. They are meant to be used as fun and practical ways to stimulate form constancy at home.

✨ Tip Tuesday is back! ✨

This week we’re diving into **Form Constancy** 👀

Ever wondered how children recognise letters, numbers, or shapes—even when they look different in size, font, or position? 🤔 That’s form constancy in action!

This skill is *key* for reading, writing, and overall learning success 📚✏️—and when it’s tricky, kids may struggle to recognise familiar information when it looks slightly different.

💡 The exciting part? Form constancy can be developed through simple, playful activities at home!

🎥 Stay tuned for Friday’s video, where we’ll show you easy, practical ways to build this skill using everyday items 🙌

💬 DM us if you’d like to learn more or need support—we’re always here to help 💜

Here's another FUNPLAY FRIDAY ACTIVITY!! 👀🎊

Today, we explore some fun and practical ways to address Figure Ground at home! We hope you enjoy these activities! 🤪

BREAKDOWN of the activities in the video:
Connect the dots⭕️
Make different coloured dots on opposite sides of the page, and draw dotted lines to connect the colours! Trace with your fingers or even fill in the lines!
Change it up- Use fewer dots to make the activity easier, or add dots to make it more difficult!

Look for the correct shape/words◻️🔺️
Draw many different shapes on a page and choose one that needs to be found – these can then be circled!
Change it up- Use only squares and rectangles to make it more difficult or add more shapes. To make it even more difficult, words can also be used instead of shapes (As shown in the video)!
To make it easier, make the page less crowded!

Find the odd knife out🍴
Choose a specific knife/fork/spoon that needs to be found and place them all in a pile– then try to find the utensil again.
Change it up- to make it easier, you can use a fork amongst knives or a knife amongst forks!

Other activities that can work on figure ground
- Ispy
- Building a puzzle
- Word searches
- Where's Wally
- Dobble

⚠️DISCLAIMER
These activities can, in no way, replace therapy. They are meant to be used as fun and practical ways to stimulate figure ground at home.

It’s SATURDAY 👀🎉
Because of the Easter public holiday, we’re a day late with our FunPlay Friday video—but we definitely didn’t forget! 😄
Here it is!

Today we’re focusing on Spatial Relations 👆👇👉
Here are some fun, easy activities you can try at home:

Here’s a bit more information on some of the activities:

🧩 Noughts and Crosses
We all know the classic game—but who would have thought it’s a great way to practise spatial relations?
Change it up by playing outside—use your finger in the sand!
For older kids, switch it up and use letters like b/d instead of noughts and crosses.

🚘 Space Placement Game
Use objects and give instructions on where to place them.
For example: “Put the car inside the container” or “Place the block behind the car.”

Change it up by using different position words like: in, behind, in front, on top, left, and right.

👉 Alternative:
Let your child position their own body according to instructions 🏃🏼‍♀️🪑
(e.g. stand behind the chair, climb on the chair, stand in front of the chair).

✍️ Draw-a-Block Game
A favourite for older kids (6–7 years and up)!
If you’re unsure how to play, DM us—we’d love to explain.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Today we’re focusing on Visual Closure 👁️✨
Here are some fun, easy activities you can try at home:

Here’s a bit more information on some of the activities:

🧩 Complete the Picture
Draw different incomplete pictures on paper. Start simple, then increase the difficulty as your child improves.
Encourage your child to complete the missing parts of each picture.

🍬 Jelly Tot Creations (YUM!)
Use jelly tots and toothpicks to build shapes or figures.
Encourage your child to be creative—bonus points because they can eat it afterwards! 😄
