Building our ✨writing skills ✨ one sense at a time! A true multi-sensory handwriting activity in action 🎬

Forming the letter D with Magna-Tiles before writing it with pencil on paper ✏️ has far more benefits than you might think!

This multi-sensory handwriting approach makes learning fun and helps kids remember letters by engaging multiple senses at once such as vision (seeing the letter 👀), touch (touching the tiles👋), movement (building the letter 💨), and sound (saying the letter name and sound a loud 📣).

Using multiple senses ultimately creates stronger brain connections making it easier to learn, remember, and carry over into everyday handwriting 💡

Introducing… Mat Man!🧍‍♂️✨

He’s part of the Learning Without Tears (also known as Handwriting Without Tears) curriculum that is often used in OT sessions, which helps teach kids about body awareness, sequencing, spatial concepts, and the building blocks of drawing and writing.

By putting his pieces together, kids can practice following directions, organizing parts into a whole, and strengthening pre-writing and visual-motor skills 💪🖍️

Ultimately, putting Mat Man together makes learning fun while practicing important skills needed for school readiness 🤩💡

Having fun working on expanding our utterances and using both regular and irregular past tense by describing our actions during a movement-based activity! Movement-based activities can help keep engagement levels high, plus it gives us natural chances to model and practice verbs in real time!💥

✨OT session turned into a cozy sensory adventure!✨

We love building forts out of therapy equipment! Here we used a parachute, floor mats, dimmed lighting, light-up toys - all to create a calming friendly hideaway to work on some seated fine motor skills at the table! 🌈🧸

This kind of environment helps to support self-regulation by reducing sensory overload, and also simultaneously encourages imaginative play while providing a safe and fun place to learn and grow!
