💭 planning, predicting and problem-solving

Learning through curiosity, play and a little bit of lava fun 💥

🥷✨ Ninja Challenge: Crack the Code!
Last week in our Ninja Warrior group, children took on an obstacle course with a twist—cracking the code as they moved! 🧠💪

Moving one block at a time, they used memory, problem-solving and teamwork to match the pattern 🔍 This challenge was all about trial and error, persistence and working together 🤝

The best part? Our ninjas had so much fun they created their own codes for the therapists to crack at the end! 🔐✨

🧩✨ Visual Spatial Skills in Action!
In this peg board activity, children work on identifying overlapping pieces and using a reference image to recreate the design 🔍

By screwing the pieces into the board, they also built fine motor strength and coordination —supporting both visual spatial awareness and problem-solving through hands-on play! 🧠🔍
