📚✨ We Play Wednesday: DIY Bookmarks!

This week’s craft is all about encouraging a love of reading with handmade bookmarks! 💛 From adorable animal corners to creative designs, this simple activity is a fun way to combine crafting and literacy.

Creating bookmarks helps build fine motor skills, scissor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity—all while getting kids excited to open their next book.

How to Make Your Corner Bookmark:
1️⃣ Start with a 6x6 inch square piece of origami or colored paper.
2️⃣ Fold it diagonally to form a triangle.
3️⃣ Bring the right and left corners up to meet the bottom corner, forming a square.
4️⃣ Unfold those two corners, leaving the triangle shape.
5️⃣ Fold one layer of the bottom corner up to meet the top edge.
6️⃣ Fold the right and left corners up to meet the top point again.
7️⃣ Unfold those two corners, then fold each down and tuck them neatly into the front flap.

Slide onto the corner of your page and decorate! 📖✨

Happy Movement Monday! 😊

For today’s Movement Monday, we’re focusing on bubble popping — a fun and exciting way to help kids build coordination, balance, and body control while chasing and popping with purpose! 🫧💙

Bubble popping helps with:

✨ Hand-Eye Coordination – tracking bubbles with the eyes and reaching at just the right moment to pop them.

✨ Visual Tracking Skills – following slow, fast, high, and low-moving bubbles through the air.

✨ Balance & Core Strength – standing, reaching, squatting, and stretching to pop bubbles at different heights.

✨ Motor Planning – figuring out how to move the body to reach bubbles before they float away.

✨ Body Awareness & Timing – adjusting movements based on where the bubble is drifting.

🫧 How to Practice Bubble Popping:

Blow bubbles at different heights and speeds.

Encourage your child to pop using one finger, two fingers, or their whole hand.

Try popping with the right hand only, then the left hand.

Pop bubbles while standing on tiptoes or squatting low.

Add movement — stomp, clap, or jump before popping the next bubble!

💡 Tip

Make it playful! Pretend you’re “saving the day from floating bubble aliens,” “catching magic sparkles,” or “freezing bubbles before they escape.” Slow and controlled pops build more skills than wild swats! 🫧✨

🧘‍♀️✨ Fact Friday: What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing gentle, focused attention to the present moment—our thoughts, feelings, and body sensations—without judgment.

For children (and adults!), mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, improve focus, and build empathy. Simple strategies like mindful breathing, body scans, or short reflection moments can make a big difference in daily routines.

In pediatrics, therapy service providers often incorporate mindfulness in sessions to help children:
✨Calm their bodies before engaging in activities
✨Improve attention and focus during therapy tasks
✨Build coping strategies for managing stress or frustration
✨Enhance engagement and participation in therapy exercises

When we slow down and tune in, we create space for calm, connection, and growth 💛

🎨🐟 Colourful Paper Plate Fish Craft! 🐟🎨

We had so much fun creating these bright, textured fish using simple craft supplies — perfect for toddlers and preschoolers! 🌈✨

How to make your own colourful fish:
🧻 1. Cut a triangle out of the paper plate (like a slide of pizza!). Use the larger portion as the fish body and the triangle for the tail.
👀 2. Glue on a googly eye.
🌈 3. Tear or cut small squares of tissue paper in different colours.
🖍 4. Spread glue over the plate and stick the tissue pieces all over to create beautiful scales.
🎀 5. Add pom-poms for extra texture and fun!
⏳ 6. Let it dry — then display your bright underwater friend!

This activity is great for fine motor skills, colour recognition, and creative expression 💛

Save this for your next craft day! 🐠✨

Hi We Play Families !🚀

Happy Fact Friday✨✨

Today’s facts is about Co-Regulation☺️

What is Co Regulation: Co-regulation is the process by which one regulated nervous system helps stabilize another dysregulated nervous system.

Before a person can consistently self-regulate, they must repeatedly experience regulation with another human.

This principle is grounded in:
☺️Attachment theory
☀️Developmental neuroscience
💗Autonomic nervous system research
🧠Interpersonal neurobiology

💜💗 Happy We Play Wednesday! 💗💜

Today we are making woven Valentines Day Cards! This sweet craft is perfect for building fine motor skills while creating something special for someone you love!

How to make your woven heart card:
1️⃣ Draw two large arch shapes on different coloured paper and cut them out.
2️⃣ On each arch, cut 4 evenly spaced lines starting at the straight end and stopping about ¾ of the way up (don’t cut all the way through!).
3️⃣ Weave the strips of one arch over and under the strips of the other arch to create a heart shape.
4️⃣ Decorate your heart however you like — add stickers, drawings, glitter, or a sweet message!

Have a Happy Valentines Day! 💌✨

Happy Movement Monday! 😊

For today’s Movement Monday, we’re focusing on target throwing — a fun and engaging way to help kids build precision, accuracy, and coordination while playing and aiming with purpose! 🎯💙

Target throwing helps with:

✨ Hand-Eye Coordination – lining up the eyes and hands to hit a specific target.
✨ Precision & Accuracy – practicing controlled, intentional movements instead of just throwing fast.
✨ Upper Body Strength – strengthening the shoulders, arms, and hands with repeated throws.
✨ Motor Planning – figuring out how hard to throw, where to aim, and how to adjust after each try.
✨ Focus & Body Awareness – encouraging kids to slow down, aim, and notice how their body moves.

🎯 How to Practice Target Throwing:
Choose a clear target (bucket, cone, hoop, or taped shape on the wall).
Stand with feet planted and body facing the target.
Hold the object with one or two hands.
Aim carefully, then throw with control.
Adjust your aim and strength after each throw.
Try different distances, target sizes, or throwing styles for a challenge!

💡 Tip
Make it playful! Pretend you’re “feeding the monster,” “scoring points in a carnival game,” or “hitting bullseyes on a mission.” Accuracy before speed! 🎯✨

Happy Movement Monday! 😊
For today’s Movement Monday, we’re focusing on crashing on pads — a powerful and fun movement that provides deep pressure input and helps kids regulate their bodies through safe, purposeful impact. 💥🧠💙

Crashing on pads supports:
✨ Sensory Regulation – deep pressure and proprioceptive input can be calming and organizing for the nervous system
✨ Body Awareness – helps kids understand where their bodies are in space
✨ Strength & Power – using big muscles to jump, fall, and push builds whole-body strength
✨ Emotional Release – a great way to safely get energy out and reset when bodies feel overwhelmed

🧸 How to Crash on Pads:
Stack soft mats, crash pads, or couch cushions on the floor
Have your child jump, fall, roll, or dive safely onto the pads
Encourage big movements like running jumps, bear crawls into the pads, or gentle body drops
Reset and repeat — letting kids choose how their body wants to move
💡 Tip:
Follow the child’s lead! Some kids love BIG crashes, while others prefer slow, heavy drops. You can make it playful by pretending to be a superhero landing, crashing waves, or meteorites falling from the sky ☄️💙
