💪 Tip Tuesday: Building Core Strength 💪

Strong cores aren’t just for grown-ups! Core strength helps children with posture, balance, handwriting, sitting at the table, and so much more. 🧠✨

The best part? You can build core strength through PLAY!

Try these fun activities at home:

• Tummy time or wheelbarrow walks
• Animal walks (bear, crab, frog) 🐻🦀🐸
• Climbing at the playground
• Sitting on the floor to play instead of always using chairs

Little bits of movement each day make a big difference in your child’s development. 💙

Need extra support? Our OT team at Building Blocks Therapy is here to help!

✨ Tip Tuesday: Crossing the Midline ✨

Did you know that when children cross the midline (reach across the middle of their body), they’re building important brain connections? 🧠💪

This skill supports coordination, reading and writing, dressing skills, and overall body awareness.

👉 Simple ways to practice at home:

• Drawing big rainbows across the page 🌈
• Reaching across to pick up toys
• Windmill arm movements
• Passing objects from one hand to the other across the body

Little moments of play can make a BIG difference in development. 💙

Need support for your child’s motor skills? Our OT team at Building Blocks Therapy is here to help!

🧩 Little hands, big connections 💛

When kids build puzzles, they’re not just playing — they’re strengthening problem-solving skills, visual perception, patience, and confidence. Every piece placed is a small win that builds focus and resilience.

Even more powerful? The connection that happens when we sit beside them, encourage them, and celebrate the “I did it!” moments together.

At Building Blocks Therapy, we love using play with purpose to support growing minds and hearts. ✨

Busy Mum Survival Tip – Connection Without Screens

Looking for something simple to do with your little one while you’re out and about?

Whether you’ve got a bub in the pram, a toddler in tow, or older kids at sport… those in-between moments can feel long. And it’s so easy to reach for technology.

But lately, I’ve been trying something different again.

I found these magnetic blocks at Kmart, and I absolutely love them. They’re small, easy to pack, and surprisingly engaging. Even my 13-year-old will sometimes join in!

They’re not out all the time — they just live quietly in the bag. They’re there for those moments when we’re waiting… sitting next to the netball or basketball court … or between appointments.

Right now in our nappy bag we’ve got:
• Magnetic blocks
• A magnetic drawing board
• A few different fidgets
• A couple of little princess dolls

That’s it. Nothing fancy.

The key is rotation.
Not everything out at once.
Just a few simple things that come out when needed — which makes them exciting again.

It’s not about being Pinterest-perfect.
It’s about having a little “connection kit” in your bag so you can:
• Avoid defaulting to screens
• Regulate together
• Build connection in those small, ordinary moments

If you’re busy and rushing between sports, appointments, or school pick-ups — think about creating a tiny resource kit that works for your family.

I’d love to know — what do you keep in your “out and about” bag that helps your little ones stay engaged?

✏️ Is handwriting hard work for your child?

Handwriting is a huge part of everyday school life.

Many children:
• Work incredibly hard just to keep up
• Struggle with letter formation
• Find it tricky to get letters sitting on the line
• Tire quickly at the table
• Have difficulty maintaining posture
• Feel frustrated when their ideas don’t match what they can get onto paper

Sometimes it’s not “a big problem” — but it’s a daily drain on confidence and energy.

At Building Blocks Therapy, we support children to build the underlying skills that make handwriting easier — posture, strength, motor planning, visual-motor integration, and confidence.

It doesn’t have to mean ongoing therapy.
Sometimes a short block of focused sessions is all that’s needed to:
• Build skills
• Reduce frustration
• Increase confidence
• Help your child feel successful at school

School is such a big part of a child’s life. When handwriting feels hard, it can quietly impact how they feel about learning.

If this sounds familiar, we’d love to help.

📩 Message me directly
📞 Call 0400 514 424
📧 Email lize@buildingblockstherapy.com.au

We currently have limited capacity and can support your child promptly.

Let’s empower them. Let’s build their skills. Let’s help them love school again
