If you’ve ever wondered why your toddler is constantly climbing, jumping, crashing into the couch, or asking to be picked up over and over again… they may be looking for more sensory input 🙌🏽

These are some of our favorite sensory activities for toddlers that are easy to do at home and can help support movement, play, and regulation.

💪🏽 Proprioceptive input (heavy work) helps give the body feedback through muscles and joints. Some of our favorites:

• Pushing a heavy laundry basket
• Building a pillow fort
• Helping stir or knead dough
• Deep pressure squeezes
• Using a weighted blanket for quiet time

🤸🏽‍♂️ Vestibular input supports balance and movement:
• Jumping on a trampoline
• Simon Says with jumping, spinning, and balancing
• Obstacle courses
• Swinging
• Dancing to music

🫧 Tactile input is all about exploring different textures:
• Sensory bins
• Water play
• Kinetic sand
• Play-Doh
• Finger painting

As a speech therapy mom one key thing we’ve added to our day is narrating what we’re doing and inviting my son to join in. Whether we’re cooking, outting away laundry, or setting up a sensory bin, those little moments become opportunities for language, connection, and play.

I’m still learning right alongside my son, and sharing what works for our family. I hope it gives you a few new ideas to try at home. ✨

What are your toddler’s favorite sensory activities? I’d love to add more ideas to our list!

Welcome to our August Journal Club 🌿🩵✨

This month we’re journaling through one simple question:

How do we create a life that feels good to live?

I’ve learned that the life I want isn’t built in one big moment—it’s created through the small incremental choices I make every day.

We’ve got…
✨Thirty-one prompts.
✨Five weekly themes.
✨Just a few minutes each day to reflect, reset, and reconnect with yourself.

If you’ve been craving a slower, more intentional month, this is for you.

Whether you write one sentence or fill an entire page, my hope is that these prompts help you create a little more space for yourself this month.

Kinda chic to become the woman you always envisioned yourself to be 🫶🏽✨

My son recently turned three and graduated from speech therapy 🎉 but as I celebrate his amazing milestone I also want to take a moment for those who are still waiting to hear their child’s voice.

If there was one thing I wish I could go back and tell myself it would be that it’s not your fault. And it’s okay to feel guilty but let that fuel the fire inside you to get all the answers you need for you child. It’s okay to be sad, mad, anxious, overwhelmed... feel every emotion that you can and then release it and let it go.

Your baby is counting on you to use your voice and your strength to make sure they have the best outcome possible. I know it is so so so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I promise you speech therapy is a marathon not a sprint. Continue to celebrate every win no matter how small it may seem. Because any progress is good progress.

You are doing an amazing job and as always my DMs are open if you need an ear.

xoxo,
Eb 🫶🏽✨

Okay moms have you ever noticed your toddler constantly crashing into the couch, asking for tight hugs, spinning in circles, or seeking out messy play?

What looks like “wild behavior” may actually be your child seeking sensory input.

Just like adults, toddlers have different sensory needs. Meeting those needs can help support their emotional regulation, focus, body awareness, and overall well-being.

✨ What sensory activities does your toddler love most?

Some common sensory-seeking behaviors include:

💪🏽 Proprioceptive input (body awareness)
• Tight hugs
• Deep pressure
• Carrying heavy objects
• Crashing into cushions
• Stepping stones or obstacle courses

🤸🏽‍♂️ Vestibular input (movement)
• Swinging
• Spinning
• Jumping
• Trampolines
• Balancing activities
• Dancing

🖐🏽Tactile input (touch)
• Sensory bins
• Painting
• Play dough
• Water play
• Exploring different textures

Understanding the need behind the behavior can help us respond with curiosity instead of frustration.

Every child is different, and what helps one toddler regulate may not work for another.

Toddlers feel things deeply. What’s challenging is that they don’t always have the words to tell us what’s wrong. And if you have a child in speech therapy it can be even harder for them to express what they are feeling.

Sometimes “no,” tears, throwing toys, or melting down over the smallest is their way of communicating that they’re tired, overwhelmed, frustrated, or simply having a hard time communicating what they’re feeling.

One thing I’ve learned through motherhood is that helping toddlers regulate isn’t always about finding the perfect words—it’s about creating moments that help them feel safe, connected, and that we understand them.

These are 5 simple rituals we come back to when emotions are running high:
🤍 Comfort through familiar routines
🛁 A calming bath
🧸 Favorite toys and comfort items
💬 Naming feelings when they can’t find the words
✨ Small choices that build a sense of control

And if I’m being honest, these rituals help me slow down, too. Because sometimes regulation isn’t something we teach our children—it’s something we practice alongside them.

What helps your toddler feel calm after a hard day?
