Parents and educators, join us as we explore practical, developmentally informed strategies to understand and respond to biting in young children. In this webinar, we will unpack what a child could be communicating through biting, learn proactive strategies to reduce biting behavior, and practice responsive approaches that support safety and emotional regulation. Real-life examples will be shared to illustrate how to turn moments of biting into opportunities for connection, learning, and growth.

Join us for a half-hour on February 19th at 12:30 PM. Don't miss out on this valuable learning opportunity!

Valentine Play Doh Tray

For this activity you’ll need…
- tray
- Play Doh
- heart gems
- mini Valentine erasers
- heart-shaped cookie cutters (another option)
- other Play Doh tools
- buttons
- plastic heart-shaped containers (these were either a Dollar Tree find or the Target holiday section several years ago!)

Everyone loves a festive Play Doh tray! When my oldest was a toddler, I used to set fun trays like this up for him all the time and he would play for hours! I’d gather up all sorts of fun little trinkets and just let him create and play (usually he’d pretend to make pancakes or cookies).

You can visit the Dollar Tree for a lot of these types of materials but I linked some other items I could find on Amazon that were similar to what I used! Playing with Play Doh is one of the top 5 best ways you can strengthen your child’s fine motor skills to help get them ready to properly grip a writing utensil and write.

Valentine Water Play

For this activity you’ll need…
- large storage tub (Dollar Tree or Target)
- colored pom poms
- heart gems
- silicone cupcake liners (or heart-shaped ones which we also have!)
- valentine ducks
- scoops/spoons
- plastic bowls
- water! :)

Another hit, every single time - water! Water always wins. I used a large, shallow, clear storage tub and filled it about half way (or a little less) with water. If inside, I usually lay a towel underneath the bin and keep a hand towel close by for random, inevitable spills and splashes.

I love to add pom poms to water play for extra color, and here I also added some heart gems, and valentine rubber ducks. Other great sensory play staples include silicone cupcake liners, scoops/spoons, and plastic bowls.
