🧇✨ Tomorrow is National Waffle Day! ✨🧇
We’re celebrating at Homegrown Therapy with waffles, smiles, and lots of learning through play!
Our kiddos will have the opportunity to help make their own waffles while working on speech and occupational therapy skills along the way.
Did you know making waffles can be a therapy activity too?!
🧇 Following directions & sequencing – gathering ingredients and completing the steps in order
🥣 Fine motor & bilateral coordination – scooping, pouring, stirring, spreading, and cutting
🍓 Sensory exploration – experiencing different smells, textures, temperatures, and tastes
🗣️ Speech & language – requesting ingredients, describing foods, answering questions, and learning new vocabulary
💪 Motor planning & independence – completing a simple cooking activity from start to finish
🤝 Social skills – taking turns, sharing materials, making choices, and interacting with friends
🍌 Feeding skills – exploring toppings and foods in a fun, low-pressure environment
And the fun doesn’t have to stop with cooking! Our therapists are incorporating waffle themed crafts, pretend play, matching and sorting activities, following direction games, and fine motor activities throughout the day.
We can’t wait to celebrate National Waffle Day with our Homegrown kiddos tomorrow! 🧇
Because some of the best therapy happens when kids are playing, creating, exploring…and maybe getting a little syrupy! 😋
