The SPOTS team had so much fun dressing up this week. Our new climbing net has not only been a new motor challenge for our kiddos, but also inspired some of our OT's "Under the Sea" themed costumes. We hope everyone had a happy Halloween and are so excited to continue celebrating the upcoming holidays.

Feel free to comment a photo of your Halloween costume below. We love celebrating the creativity and interests of our kids! Til next year, Halloween! Now let's bring on the turkeys!

Incorporating warm-up activities before handwriting assignments can help ease tension in a childโ€™s hands assisting them with handwriting quality and preventing fatigue. This can also be done with small children as a pre-writing/coloring warm up to increase awareness of hands and fingers!

Here are a few handwriting warm-up ideas:

โœ๏ธHave the child rub his hands together quickly or rub them in circles on a carpet
โœ๏ธHave the child stand next to their desk, hands placed palm down on desk. While keeping arms straight, have them support their weight fully on their hands for 10 seconds rocking back and forth, then rest and repeat
โœ๏ธHave the child grip their pencil with their thumb, index, and middle finger and walk their fingers up and down the pencil
โœ๏ธHave the child lean to spell a word in sign language
โœ๏ธHave the child roll a small ball of modeling clay or putty between their thumb and index fingers
โœ๏ธHave the child rotate a penny held between the thumb and index finger, clockwise and counterclockwise

๐Ÿ–Mini crayons
๐Ÿ–Crayon rocks
๐Ÿ–Peanut crayons
๐Ÿ–Finger crayons

These are some of our OTโ€™s favorite ways to promote grasp development with our kiddos!

Does you child have difficulty holding a pencil? Do they grip it tightly in their hand instead of holding it with their fingertips?

Try one of these types of crayons that are required to be held in the fingertips to develop and strengthen those muscles in the hand responsible for manipulating a writing utensil. (All of these can be found on Amazon โ˜บ๏ธ)

Simple and fun Easter Egg activity ๐ŸŒธ ๐Ÿฃ!

We are having our kiddos try to match the egg patterns. A fun activity to work on both:

1) Fine motor skills to put the eggs together

2) Visual perceptual skills to match each egg color and order

After your Easter egg hunt ๐Ÿฐ this year, save a few eggs and challenge your kiddos to this task!

โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’› A fine motor filled St. Patrickโ€™s Day craft you can do at home! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

We love these mini hole punchers for working on fine motor and grasp strengthening! To work on a more refined grasp, have your child put their thumb on top and 2 fingers on bottom to squeeze the hole punch (instead of using all fingers to help).

Hole punching also required two hands to work together โ€” one to hold the paper steady and one to manipulate the hole punch โ€” this is called bilateral coordination which is an essential skill!

Try this one at home and let us know how it went!

Back to our regularly scheduled ๐‘ญ๐‘ผ๐‘ต this week in the clinic!!

We hope everyone stayed safe and warm during the winter storms โ„๏ธ and our hearts go out to all those affected!

Forming letters or numbers with play dough is a great, multi sensory way to learn recognition and formation! Is your child having difficulty learning their letters or numbers? Try having them build the letter/numbers themselves using a fun material (play dough, clay, pip cleaners, blocks, etc)!
