This simple craft is a great way to work on:

A little paint, a recycled paper towel roll, and a lot of imagination are all you need to create your own fireworks show!

Bubble Art = Creativity + Skill Building! 🫧🎨

Head outside with a bottle of bubbles, add a few drops of food coloring, and let the fun begin! Encourage your child to dip the wand and blow bubbles toward a blank canvas, or simply swing the wand and let the colorful bubbles land on a canvas placed on the ground. This simple activity helps build oral motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and motor planning, all while creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

🔴🟡 A Clinic Favorite: Spot It! 👀💭

Spot It! is more than just a fast-paced matching game, it’s a great way to practice important skills like patience, concentration, and flexible thinking. Kids also get the opportunity to practice handling big feelings when they don't win every round (because learning that it’s okay not to win is an important skill, too!). 💛

Through play, children can practice taking turns, staying focused, managing disappointment, and trying again, all while having fun! 🎉

☀️💦 Cool Down & Aim for the Bullseye! 🎯🧽

Looking for a fun way to beat the summer heat while working on coordination? Head outside and grab some sidewalk chalk and a large sponge!

Draw a bullseye on your driveway or sidewalk, soak the sponge, and start tossing! 🎯 Experiment with standing in different spots and throwing the sponge toward different targets. Move closer, step farther away, try a new angle, and see how your accuracy changes!

This simple summer activity is a fun way to practice hand-eye coordination, motor planning, body awareness, and force control, all while staying cool! 💦☀️
