Spring break is over, and the return to real life can feel a little mind-boggling to say the least.

For a lot of sensory kids, the jump back into school routines is a big shift. If this week feels bumpier than expected, a few small supports can make a real difference:

- Use a simple visual schedule so they can see what the day looks like.
- Give extra transition warnings, even for things they normally handle well.
- Plan a sensory break after school, their system has been “on” all day.
- Lower expectations for the first few days and focus on settling back in.

Most kids find their rhythm again by midweek. Until then, a little extra patience goes a long way. 💚

SPRING BREAK DAY 3: Pudding Dirt Cups 🪱

Today we’re getting MESSY.

(I can already hear some of you cringing 😂)

Here’s why messy play matters:

For sensory seekers: They get the tactile input they crave

For sensory avoiders: Low-pressure exposure to textures

What this builds:
🤲 Hand strength (crushing Oreos!)
🎯 Force modulation (not too hard or you rip the bag)
👀 Fine motor (scooping, placing)
🧠 Sensory tolerance

For picky eaters: This is food PLAY, not food pressure.

Let them explore without expectation to eat. Touching, smelling, squishing, it ALL counts as progress.

Tools for avoiders: Offer spoons, tongs, or gloves as barriers.

Check your inbox for the full guide! 💚

Are you brave enough for messy play? 😂

SPRING BREAK DAY 1: Pot of Gold Craft 🌈🪙

Today’s activity looks like a cute, festive craft… but it’s doing a lot more behind the scenes.

When your child cuts out circles, they’re building hand strength and coordination.
Linking paper chains gets both hands working together and supports motor planning.
Following the steps helps with sequencing and memory.
Even gluing is practice for learning how much pressure is “just right.”

To them, it feels like a fun project.
To us, it’s meaningful skill building wrapped up in something playful.

Check your inbox for the full step-by-step guide and simple ways to adjust the activity for your child.

Spring break is coming up fast, and if you’re already wondering how you’re going to keep your kids busy all week… you’re definitely not the only one. 🌸

Coming up with activities that are actually fun, actually doable, and actually helpful for your child can feel like a full-time job. So our OTs took that off your plate.

We created a FREE spring activity calendar filled with simple, engaging, therapist-designed ideas you can use at home. Starting March 16, you’ll get one activity delivered to your inbox each morning to help bring a little structure, creativity, and movement to your child’s day.

Think less scrambling for ideas and more meaningful play that supports real skills.

Sign up now and let us help make spring break feel a little calmer, a little easier, and a lot more fun.

What your kiddo will work on:

✂️ Scissor skills: cutting circles and strips
🔗 Bilateral coordination: looping paper chains
📋 Following directions: multi-step sequencing
🎯 Force modulation: “just right” pressure with glue

We built in ways to make it EASIER:
• Pre-cut the pieces
• Use hand-over-hand for chains
• Provide a visual model

And ways to make it HARDER:
• Draw shapes from memory
• Create their own checklist
• Add writing component

This is therapy disguised as crafting. 😉

Only 4 more days until activities start. 💚

Transitions INTO breaks can be just as hard as transitions OUT of them.

A little prep goes a long way. 💚
