Summer is here! Great time to pull out the bikes! I know it’s getting hot.. but choose your cycling time wisely. Go early.
Learning to ride a bike is a fabulous life skill.

Learning to ride a bike requires integration of many underlying skills! Here are tips from the perspective of an OT: https://www.theottoolbox.com/radio-flyer-balance-bike-giveaway/

Absolutely!!! Climb UP the slide. I was just doing this last week with some kids at the park. Improve strength, motor planning, coordination…and so much more.

As occupational therapists, we often have children in our practice work on climbing UP the slide. We do this, because it happens to be incredibly therapeutic.

Learn more about why it's beneficial to allow children to climb back up the slide (when no one is coming down of course!)

Observed some Springtime fun out on the playground at Warwick Academy today with the P1s. Loose parts were provided and the kids used their creativity to make their picture.
They were having a blast.
