Making mealtimes fun and meaningful for every child ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅ•

Recently one of our OTs worked with a child to explore new foods by creating a fruit and veg maze! Using real foods, they built pathways, added playing pieces, and levelled it up with trapdoors, teleportation vents, and even pear goo ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Using a playful and fun approach can support children with different interests, sensory preferences, and confidence levels to explore new foods ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ

Turning play into powerful reading practice ๐Ÿ“šโญ๏ธ

Our speech pathologists love using a range of creative approaches to support phonological awareness and early literacy skills. Adding letters to magnet tiles is a fun, hands-on way to support children to practice blending and segmenting skills. Children can move the tiles as they say each sound, then slide them together to read the wordโ€”or pull them apart to hear each sound in a word. Itโ€™s simple, visual, and makes learning to read feel like play ๐Ÿ’œ
