I'm loving...

I recently stopped into a little store in my neighborhood that sells fun and quirky gifts, toys, paper products, and home decor items. While I was there I restrained myself and did not buy everything in sight, but I did manage to come up with an OT wishlist :)





Kido Go Car

Kid O Go Car
I've seen these cars in action and I love how they are easy to grasp for children with motor impairments, such as cerebral palsy.



Kid O Cutting Fruit

Play food is great for exposing children (especially selective eaters) to food. I like that these are held together with magnets and kids can use a plastic knife to cut the fruit into slices.

Appletters
Appletters
From the makers of Bananagrams, this game is kind of like dominoes with letters. While I was researching it, I also discovered Pairsinpears, which also follows the theme of using letter pieces to create words. Any of these could be adapted into a creative way to work on handwriting skills (and maybe even visual perceptual skills, too!).

A-z Animal Place Mat Coloring Pad

Okay, this is pricey for what is essentially just a coloring book, but I liked the pictures and how much fine motor control and fine motor precision could be worked on with these pictures.

About Face Card Game Activity 
About Face
This game looks like a fun way to work on body parts (at least parts of the face) while encouraging categorization and language development at the same time.
