🎶 “On the FIFTH day of Christmas, my SLP gave to me… fiiive parts of sto-ry tel-ling!”

✨ Practice: characters, setting, problem, events, and ending with short holiday stories or pictures.
Retelling builds expressive language + memory in a natural, cozy way.

🎶 “On the FOURTH day of Christmas, my OT gave to me… four fine-motor skills for a wrapping spree!”

✨ Cutting, folding, taping, and tying ribbons are great hand-strength + dexterity work.

12/16/2025

🎶 “On the THIRD day of Christmas, my SLP gave to me… three words to grow my vo-ca-bu-la-ry!”

✨ Christmas words like “sparkly,” “cozy,” and “gingerbread” boost describing skills!

12/15/2025

*🎶 “On the SECOND day of Christmas, my OT gave to me… two hands working with bil-a-ter-al co-or-di-nee!”

✨ Holiday activities that use both hands — tearing paper, rolling dough, opening ornaments and gifts — build bilateral coordination.

12/13/2025

🎶 “On the FIRST day of Christmas, my SLP gave to me… a sound that starts off the word tree! 🎄”

Practice crisp /t/ sounds with fun holiday words like:
🎄 Tree
✨ Twinkle
❄️ Tinsel
🎁 Toy
👋 Tidings

Ornament “I Spy”
(Speech Edition!)

Playing I Spy with your Christmas tree ornaments is an easy and festive way to build vocabulary, description skills, attention, and receptive language — all while keeping your child engaged!

Try prompts like:
“I spy something shiny…”
“I spy something round…”
“I spy something up high/down low…”
“I spy something soft…”
“I spy something with glitter…”

As your child finds the item, encourage them to use a full sentence:
“I found the shiny star!”
“I found the round ornament!”
“I found the teddy bear ornament!"

You can take it a step further by adding:
Color words: “I spy something red…”
Categories: “I spy an ornament that is an animal…”
Functions: “I spy something we use to decorate…”
Comparisons: “Find something bigger than this ornament.”

Have fun adding some holiday sparkle to your at-home speech practice! Let us know what your child finds on your tree!

Ready for some snowy OT practice?

With more snow on the way, it’s the perfect time to use winter play to build skills!

❄️ Scoop, pack, and roll snow for hand strength
❄️ Draw shapes, letters, or trails in the snow for fine-motor practice
❄️ Make snowballs or snow creatures for motor planning
❄️ Carry small buckets of snow for great heavy-work input

A little cold weather can bring BIG opportunities for sensory, strength, and coordination development. Stay warm and play on! ☃️💙

❄️✨ Snow Day Speech Practice! ✨❄️
Playing in the snow is a perfect way to build language skills without it FEELING like practice.

Here are a few easy speech ideas to try:
🗣️ Describe what you see and feel — cold, crunchy, sparkly
🗣️ Practice simple directions — “Roll the snowball,” “Make it bigger,” “Stack it on top”
🗣️ Use winter vocabulary — snowball, melt, mittens, snowman, snowflake
🗣️ Talk about actions — scoop, roll, build, toss

More OT-friendly snow play ideas are coming tomorrow! ☃️💙

Happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours! We are incredibly thankful to you for allowing us to be a part of your lives and hang out with your kiddos! May your day be full of fun and love.

OT Tips for Thanksgiving:
Big holiday = big feelings (and big food expectations).

Try these tips to help kiddos decompress during the busy day:
🦃 Quiet corner with a favorite book or toys/fidgets (pack a quiet corner kit if traveling!)
🖐️ Heavy work before meals (setting the table, mixing the mashed potatoes)
🎧 Noise-canceling headphones
🌬️ Deep breaths together
🍽️ Food aversions: Offer a “Try It” plate with tiny portions. Praise effort, not bites. No pressure, just encouragement.

What other tools do you use to help manage big feelings on Thanksgiving (for you AND your kids!)

Coloring isn’t “just coloring.”

It builds hand strength, supports pencil grasp, boosts focus, helps with emotional regulation, improves posture, and encourages creativity!

A perfect cozy-day activity! 🍁✨
