How’s your luck with getting your kids to eat vegetables?
Our feeding therapists love this colorful Rainbow Snack because it gets kids interacting with veggies in a novel way. You can make these veggie topped crackers at home too. Talk about the colors, the textures and most importantly, have fun making these bite sized rainbows and lucky horseshoes! This snack will add a pop of color to your St. Patrick’s Day nibbles Who knew eating vegetables could be so fun?!
Today’s your lucky day to learn how to make this precious Saint Patrick’s Day Cookie.. This Pot O’Gold Cookie Craft is worth its taste in gold.
Your kids will think they’ve hit the jackpot when they create this leprechaun sized treat!
Kids will absolutely LOVE this scooter board obstacle course aka “The Valentine Car Wash”.
Lie down on your tummy and propel yourself forward through the tunnel. As you come across the Valentine, pick it up, then push up your arms to place the Valentine under your chest. This requires upper body and arm strength as well as weight shifting from one arm to the next, strengthening the shoulder girdle and core. It also challenges motor planning because your child must figure out how to move forward using their arms as well as sequencing multiple steps to collect the items as they propel through the tunnels.
Here’s a Valentine themed obstacle course that kids will love! It’s super easy to set up and will keep kids occupied for quite some time while challenging their motor skills and body awareness. The first step is to string yarn in a crisscrossing pattern between pieces of furniture. Your kids will need to navigate through this “laser maze” without touching the yarn lasers.
The taste of sweet success doesn’t get any better after winning a game of Valentine Cookie Tic Tac Toe. In fact, win or lose, nothing beats a board game that you can eat! Kids will love playing…
