Fishing in a bin filled with water beads!!! We added fish that we can catch with a net or magnetic wand!

The only moment is now. We create our children’s childhood experience. A present parent nurtures the soul.

I love using simple sensory bins to add a component of mystery!!! So much more fun to look for hidden matching upper and lower case letters in a box of colored pasta!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t underestimate the power of hiding items for children!

Graded finger control is an important fine motor skill. How much is the just right pressure or force to use with our hands to complete an activity. Sometimes we have to be gentle and other times more forceful and in between that is an entire spectrum of grading that force.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here we used a stacking game to learn to use the “just right” amount of force to build this tower!

Wax strings from Miss Mancy's tool kit are great!

Wax strings from Miss Mancy's tool kit are great! I love to use them when I teach children to color in the lines! Just use a piece of wax string around an image and ask children to color inside. Once they are done coloring, remove the string and voila! Find 10 ways to use wax strings on Miss Mancy's Blog!

Transitions are not always so simple. Compounded b

Transitions are not always so simple. Compounded by the fact that parents are pressed for time to get routines completed, this can turn into a tantrum-meltdown disaster. The more tools you have in your “parent toolbox” the more seamless you can transition kids throughout the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 9 strategies to help your child transition easily through morning or evening routines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1- Checklists:
Use checklist to help children know what comes next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2- Choice of 2:
Choices give children perceive control, making transitions more empowering.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3- First/Then Cards:
Instead of saying: “We can’t play now we have to first take a bath” say: “ first bath then play”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4- Sing Songs:
Help children through their routine through songs. This keeps it light and fun! Ex: clean up song
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5- Visual Schedules:
Knowing what comes next helps them anticipate the expectations we have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6- Give children Advance Notice:
No one likes to be told to stop in the middle of an activity. Be respectful towards your child and let them know what is expected in advance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7- Use incentives to Motivate them:
Motivate your child to stop what they are doing and transition to another task by giving them incentives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8- Use a timer:
Timers are a concrete and visual way to help your child transition to a different activity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
9- Use transition items:
Allow children to bring something with them to help them transition. Ex: “go pick a toy that you want to play with in the tub”

I love when I can use one toy to work on several motor skills!

This Rainbow Cord Game by @MelissaandDoug is great!
⭐️ Kids lace the cord in the drawing tool, they then
⭐️ “Draw” with the strings on Velcro board.
⭐️ then remove/pull off the cord from the Velcro. (This strengthens their neat pincer grasp!)
⭐️ they pull the cords while I place the board overhead so that they also get to work on their shoulder strength.

One toy, many goals met! Love it!

Colorful volcanoes!
Another really great way to improve neat pincer strength (ie. pinching with thumb and index finger) is to use a dropper to make mini volcanoes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children repeatedly pinch the dropper to put drops of colored vinegar on little mounds of baking soda! The amazement of fizzing volcanoes makes them forget all the pinching that they’re practicing with the dropper!
