October 5th- Play? Therapy? Both?

Often our version of ‘play’ means it can’t be educational… or therapy can’t be playing… but I beg to differ!

Occupational therapy (OT), imaginative play, life skills (hair brushing)

  1. I, too, find that with kid with special needs everything becomes therapy! We can have lots of fun AND work on developmental skills. :)

  2. wow! those are some GREAT things to have around!!!

    I have those exact same fruit/veggie puzzles in my classroom :D

    What is the name of that toy/set that looks kind of like a kids version of K'nex?? Those would be PERFECT in my classroom. We don't have the fine motor skills to work K'nex.

    Awwwwweeeesome!!!

  3. Ah! I also wanted to know where you got those puzzles with the word/picture pieces (picture of frog, word frog). Is there a brand name?

    I'm a little stuck in regards to puzzles, I have one's that are too hard and one's that are too easy...very few in the middle.
