📸 Happy Saturday! Adam's Photo of the Week – Part 2!

Here's another photo from my trip out to Manchester City! ⚽📸

I really enjoyed getting out with my camera, exploring the area and capturing things through my lens.

One thing I love about photography is that everyone sees things differently. I enjoy spotting the little details, finding different angles and showing people how I see the world.

It's not just about taking a photo, it's about sharing what catches my eye and why.

Hope you enjoy Part 2! Let me know what you think of this week's photo.

🎃 DAY 13 & 14 – AND THAT'S A WRAP! 👻🕷️

We've been busy at Dragon OT today, finishing off our 14 Days of Halloween Activities with not one, but TWO activities!

🕷️ Day 13 – Spider Web Sensory Maze!

Helping our little spider find its way through the web! A fun activity working on finger control, hand-eye coordination, visual tracking and problem-solving.

🧽 Day 14 – Halloween Sponge Smash!

Getting messy with paint, spooky characters and lots of squashing and splatting! A great way to work on hand strength, fine motor skills and sensory exploration.

And just like that, we've finished all 14 Halloween activities!

🎬 Keep an eye out for our Reels later today to see both activities in action!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who's followed along, liked, shared or tried our activities at home or in school.

We've loved putting these together and sharing some fun OT ideas with you!

🎃 Which of our 14 activities was your favourite? We'd love to know!

That's Halloween wrapped up at Dragon OT for another year, but don't worry, we've got plenty more activities and resources coming your way!

⚠️ Safety first: Adult supervision is required. Check allergies and sensitivities, securely seal sensory bags, use child-safe washable paint and be mindful of small parts and choking hazards. Craft materials are not edible.

🎃 DAY 12 – HALLOWEEN SENSORY BAGS! 👻🕷️

We're back with another Halloween activity at Dragon OT!

Today we're making our very own Halloween Sensory Bags, and they're great for exploring different textures without all the mess!

We've made four different bags using:

🎃 Orange lentils
👻 Cotton wool balls
🌈 Colourful pom-poms
🕷️ Pink yarn and little spiders

We've also added some Halloween designs to make them even more fun!

Children can press, push and move the materials around the bags while working on:

🖐️ Finger isolation
👀 Hand-eye coordination
🌈 Sensory exploration
🧠 Visual attention

👻 Spooky challenge: Can you move all the items into the Halloween shapes?

🎬 Watch our Reel to see how we made them!

Tomorrow we've got Day 13 – Spider Web Sensory Maze!

⚠️ Safety first: Adult supervision required. Check allergies and sensitivities, securely seal and tape all bags, and check for leaks or damage before and during play. Small contents can be choking hazards if a bag opens.

🎃 DAY 12 – HALLOWEEN SENSORY BAGS! 👻🕷️

Who's ready for some spooky sensory fun?

It's Day 12 of our 14 Days of Halloween Activities at Dragon OT, and today we're making our very own Halloween Sensory Bags!

A fun, hands-on activity for exploring different textures, colours and shapes without getting too messy!

You will need:

🛍️ Strong, clear resealable bags
🎃 Orange lentils or coloured rice
👻 Cotton wool balls
🕷️ Colourful pom-poms
🕸️ Coloured wool or yarn
🕷️ Halloween decorations (optional)
🖊️ Permanent marker
📏 Strong tape to secure the bags.

Let's get creative!

🎃 Pumpkin Bag: Fill a bag with orange lentils and draw a pumpkin on the outside.

👻 Ghost Bag: Add fluffy cotton wool balls and draw a spooky ghost.

🕷️ Spider Bag: Fill with colourful pom-poms and draw a spider.

🕸️ Spider Web Bag: Add coloured yarn and plastic spiders to create a spooky web!

Seal and securely tape each bag before exploring.

What OT skills are we working on?

🖐️ Fine motor skills
💪 Hand strength and coordination
👀 Visual attention
🌈 Sensory exploration
🧠 Concentration and curiosity

👻 Spooky challenge: Can you move the objects around inside the bags and find the hidden spiders?

🎬 Keep an eye out for our Reel later today to see our Halloween Sensory Bags in action!

⚠️ Safety first! Adult supervision is required at all times. Adults must prepare, seal and securely tape the bags. Check for allergies and sensitivities. Lentils, pom-poms, cotton wool and small decorations can be choking hazards if a bag opens. Inspect bags before and during play, discard damaged bags immediately and keep loose materials away from children at risk of mouthing or swallowing objects. Contents are not edible.
