Don't throw away these Happy Meal toys. Instead, use them to assist your child with:
♡Counting
♡Labeling and identifying characters/animals
♡Sharing
♡Labeling and identifying colors
♡Sorting
♡Comparing and contrasting
♡Taking responsibility for cleaning up

These activities will help to strengthen their communication, fine motor, gross motor, social emotional, problem solving, and self-help skills.

After my non-verbal son woke up from his nap he came over and grabbed my hand and led me to the fridge. I hadn't shown him the pictures yet but he discovered them on his own. He pointed to the Burger, I asked him if he wanted a Burger, and he smiled and jumped up and down. Oh this boy melts my heart!💘💘
I also made pictures with activities of fun things we like to do. These were pictures I took on my phone and had printed at Walgreens.

Don't throw away your Christmas bows....do this instead:

-Create a sensory bin
-Add the bows to bowl and/or container
-Hide small age-appropriate toys, magnetic letters/numbers underneath
-To work on fine motor skills, using a large serving spoon to encourage your child to scoop on the bows.
-This activity can also be used for counting, sorting, labeling and identifying colors, sharing and so much more. 🫶

We worked on speech and fine motor skills while using bingo markers and paper. Bingo markers are from Five Below for $5 (5pc set). They're also available as singles for $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Buttttt...it's tons of fun for all ages and will keep your children engaged.

SN: This activity is messy and requires adult supervision.

Test tube bubbles are the best! These are great for all areas of development. These are sensory bubbles, which means you can pick them up without popping them. They are available at Dollar General ($1), Dollar Tree ($1.25), and Amazon.

P.S., We love .Zoey-Toddler Speech Therapy on YouTube. 🫶🦋

Allow your child to use their creativity during play. Encourage them to safely use toys and other objects beyond their intended use.

Examples:

⭐️ Blocks inside of a shape sorter
⭐️A remote as a telephone
⭐️Using cups to talk/vocalize in (like a megaphone)
⭐️Stacking objects other than blocks

Learning is a family affair. Ensure that everyone in your child's life plays an active role in helping your child learn. Model for family and friends skills that you're practicing with your child so they can help too. The "village" still exists.

Improve your child's fine motor skills by allowing them to explore with food. Here are ideas:

1. Allow them to finger feed themselves.
2. Allow them to use child size utensils (spoon, fork).
3. Allow them to try different sauces.
4. Offer food and drink choices (milk or juice, pizza or chicken, chips or cookies). Encourage your little one to point while making choices.

Feeding is messy. But your child's growth and independence is worth it!

Children don't need fancy toys to learn. Use what you have. With time, effort, and consistency you'll see results.
