🧶🧶 Small acts. Big impact. ❤️
A knitted teddy. A warm blanket. A beanie. A handmade card.
Each one is created with care through our Made with Love Craft Group and donated to support local community organisations.
Every stitch, every card and every act of kindness helps make a difference.
Our next Made with Love Craft Group meets on Saturday 27 June at the Mura Lanyon Youth & Community Centre. New members and donations are always welcome.

Reading TO and WITH little ones is foundational to their development.
It's laying the groundwork for all future learning!!

As an occupational therapist, I look at color learning as more than just an early academic milestone. The ability to recognize colors, name colors, and use colors is directly connected to how a child participates in everyday activities. And, we use these skills in every therapy session!

Think about a typical therapy session: pick up the green craft pom poms and sort them into the green cup. This is a visual perceptual skill and we use these multi-step directions as part of our skill therapy interventions.

Or, maybe we use the colors of the Alert program when working on self-regulation. Then, we use color directions to work on handwriting skills (stop at the red baseline on modified paper).

Learning, viewing, recognizing, and manipulating objects of different colors is a therapy intervention strategy and functional task. Here's more on these milestones and how to support this skill: https://www.theottoolbox.com/learning-colors/
