One of our favorite occupational therapy activities is using a propelling scooter board on the stomach to grab and collect different items — and it’s way more powerful than it looks!

When children lie on their tummies and use their arms to push, pull, and reach for objects, they’re working on so many important developmental skills at once:

💪 Core and upper body strength – Strengthening the muscles in their tummy, back, shoulders, and arms helps improve posture and endurance for sitting, writing, and self-care tasks.

🧠 Motor planning and body awareness – Kids learn how to coordinate both sides of their body and plan their movements to reach and navigate smoothly.

👀 Visual skills – Tracking objects while moving supports eye-hand coordination, which is important for reading and writing.

🖐️ Fine motor foundations – Strong shoulder and arm muscles lay the groundwork for fine motor control needed for cutting, coloring, buttoning, and handwriting.

❤️ And the best part? It feels like play! We believe therapy should feel like fun — because when kids play with purpose, their skills continue to grow and develop🌟

Ever catch yourself pointing and naming everything you see? 👀
“Chair. Tree. Ball. Car. Shoes.”

You’re trying to help your little one learn words — and that’s awesome! 💕

Speech Tip: It’s not just what you say — it’s how you say it! Put those vocabulary words in meaningful contexts, this is a great strategy to teach little ones not only what the words mean, but also how to use them in meaningful contexts!

That’s how little brains build big language! 🧠💖

¿Te ha pasado que señalas y nombras todo lo que ves? 👀
“Silla. Árbol. Pelota. Carro. Zapatos.”

¡Estás tratando de ayudar a tu peque a aprender palabras — y eso es maravilloso! 💕

🗣️ Consejo de Habla: No se trata solo de qué dices, sino cómo lo dices.
Usa esas palabras de vocabulario en contextos con sentido — ¡es una excelente estrategia para enseñarles no solo el significado de las palabras, sino también cómo usarlas en situaciones reales!

🧠💖 ¡Así es como los pequeños desarrollan un lenguaje grande!

✋✨ Pre-handwriting skills are the foundation for strong, confident writers!
Before kids can form letters, they need to build hand strength, coordination, and control through play. 🖍️

Handwriting readiness is about more than neat letters—it supports focus, independence, and success in school. 🌟 Encouraging these skills early helps children feel confident and capable when it’s time to write.

Here are some general pre-writing and handwriting milestones with some fun activities to try at home!

Tip: Keep it playful—every scribble, shape, and line is progress!
