OT Tip of the Day: Bubble Blowing! 🫧

Blowing bubbles is full of therapeutic benefits! When kids blow bubbles, they’re practicing deep breathing and graded control — great skills for self-regulation and oral motor development. Regulation strategies like this should be practiced regularly and not just at times of dysregulation. 🫧

{Image Description: The background shows colorful, iridescent bubbles floating outdoors against a blurred green backdrop. In the center, is a white rounded text box with black text.}
