Think Tank Therapy

Here’s today’s sensory activity! Even if you don’t have rainbow rice on hand, it’s still a lot of fun!

We’ve learned not to question the process Stirring a paint and glue mixture with a pencil (I gave her the pencil... we can’t get her on that!) may look odd, but the finished product is fantastic!

When you can’t put up an actual tree... you get crafty! Dear Santa, we’ve all been really good this year! Promise!

Progress, big or small, is always wonderful to experience! Eye contact during play, a gesture for you to read a book, or even a new word spoken are all bits and pieces of progress. Just because it might seem small, doesn’t mean it isn’t a big deal

Santa has some lovely things to share for the kiddos!

Congratulations

Welcome to a Think Tank Halloween!! Take a peek inside these hallowed halls *sound on*

Sometimes how we say things can really impact our children’s view. They are like sponges and always soak up every little detail. Candy and treats are always a tough category. Though we don’t want our kids chowing down on a giant bag of skittles, there can be a different approach. You say : Candy is bad for you ... They might hear : bad things taste really good You say : No thank you, chocolate will make me fat They might hear : I eat chocolate, maybe I’m fat? That must be a bad thing Children’s interpretations on our wording can be very different from what we think we said. We’ve learned these wordings from years of advertisements, movies, and so on. Maybe you could be too full for chocolate right now, or it’s not time for candy just yet. Putting a smaller positive spin on it can make all the difference! See more

It’s Sensory Saturday!! Dollar store sensory bottle! Sensory bottles don’t always have to be liquid! Sometimes the heavy, dry ones can really help in transitions, and they’re super easy to make. ... I did end up using hot glue on the lid because I just don’t trust that it won’t go everywhere All of these items were bought at the dollar store, and as you can see it went together very quickly! Other items you could use - sand, rocks, Pom Pom’s, sequins, beads. The options are endless! See more
