Love these ideas! 💪

Here's another great tool for fine motor skills and handwriting! As an occupational therapist, we LOVE to use heavy work in the hands as a warm-up to handwriting tasks. Proprioceptive input "wakes up" the hands so the intrinsics are ready for writing tasks. It is also a great strengthening and resistive coordination tool.

I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since I started my journey to help littles grow and thrive! I wouldn’t change a thing!❤️

Head preference is common in young babies, but it’s important to support movement and visual engagement to both sides as they grow. Small positioning changes during everyday routines can help encourage more balanced development and body awareness.

Tummy time is about more than strengthening muscles, it’s also an opportunity to support visual development and body awareness. Encouraging babies to visually track to both sides during tummy time can help support balanced movement patterns, especially if they show a preference for turning their head one direction more often.

Visual tracking helps babies learn about the world around them. Following faces, toys, and movement supports visual skills, coordination, attention, and body awareness. Encouraging babies to track to both sides can also help identify preferences or areas where they may need extra support. Small moments of play can support meaningful developmental growth. 🤍
