🤏🫰👍👌This simple DIY drop-and-roll activity encourages little ones to work in standing, building balance and stability while reaching different heights to strengthen their shoulders. Watching the pom-poms fall through the tubes sparks cause-and-effect reasoning and
problem-solving. We also decorated with stickers for some addded hand-eye coordination and fine motor skill development — all while keeping little hands busy so mom could cook sime supper. 💜

Facts about Neuroplasticity after a stroke:

🧠 The brain can rewire itself – When a stroke damages certain areas, other parts of the brain can take over lost functions through practice and repetition.

🏋️ Use it to improve it – Consistent rehabilitation exercises strengthen neural connections, improving movement, coordination, and even speech.

⏳ Recovery takes time – The brain continues to heal for months and even years after a stroke. Early intervention is important, but progress is always possible!

👐 Hands-on therapy helps – Engaging in activities that challenge the affected side of the body encourages the brain to adapt and regain function.

💡 Small changes make a big impact – Even simple daily movements, like reaching, grasping, or balancing, support neuroplasticity and recovery.

Never underestimate the brain’s ability to heal!
