Twin Cities winter = lots of indoor movement needs ❄️
Good news — you don’t need fancy equipment to support regulation at home.

These everyday activities provide vestibular + proprioceptive input to help kids feel grounded and organized:

🌀 Blanket swings for gentle vestibular input
💪 Pushing a laundry basket for heavy work
🛒 Unpacking groceries to build body awareness & regulation

✨ Want more structured movement?
Here’s my kid-friendly yoga slide deck here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG_XAqe_K8/ttU3c40N5Yj3Qxi0Atqmjg/edit?utm_content=DAG_XAqe_K8&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton— perfect for indoor days, transitions, or calming the body before meals or bedtime.

Created by a Twin Cities pediatric OT who knows these sub 0 days are tricky for parents!
