Too hot to play outside? ☀ Try some of our favorite indoor proprioceptive activities!

Proprioception tells us where our bodies are in space! Proprioceptive input is any activity that provides deep pressure to your muscles and joints, or provides resistance through pushing/pulling activities.

Proprioceptive activities are useful to implement throughout the day to support a regulated nervous system.
