21.01.2022 Obviously we need some Aussie Christmas ideas too for the fingerprint stamp Christmas card visuals! Fingerprint art is a great way to work on finger isolation, visual-motor integration and also tactile sensitivity! . . . #aussiechristmas #aussiechristmascards #christmas #christmascards #christmascraftsforkids #christmasart #fingerprintart #kinderactivities #earlyyearsintervention #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot

17.01.2022 A great organization to get behind! Every child should have access to books! Thank you @indigenousliteracyfoundation for the awesome work you do! #readingopensdoors #indigenousliteracyfoundation #ilovebooks #booksforallkids

17.01.2022 Loving the colour of this kinetic sand from Kmart Australia !! Kinetic sand is always a favourite in OT sessions or even with my little nieces/nephews that visit and it works on so many great skills: Fine Motor Skills by manipulating the sand and using the molds. Sensory input by decreasing sensitivity or providing input to tactile seekers. Play Skills, this tub would inspire so many different play scripts. Pretend play is so important as it helps to develop literacy... skills, story-telling, problem solving, planning, flexibility and social skills. Social Skills can be developed further by sharing the tub between two or three kids or as the adult try to change/extend the play, this works on turn-taking/sharing, negotiation, problem solving and flexibility. Its also a great motivating activity to work on extending attention and table-top activities. . . . Disclaimer: Ensure child and pets do not ingest the kinetic sand and wash/dry hands thoroughly before and after use. . . . #kineticsand #purple #sensoryplay #sensorytub #playskills #pretendplay #socialskills #finemotor #occupationaltherapy #paediatricoccupationaltherapy #paedsot #pediatricot #paediatricot #ot4kids #willowthetapyot #ndisprovider #schoolbasedot #earlyinterventionot #earlyintervention #kmartaus See more

17.01.2022 Found this gorgeous spring idea! Sun catcher butterfly or fairy wings! Great way to incorporate fine and gross motor skills, learn colours and shapes and most importantly include pretend play and a little magic! . . . #spring #butterfly #fairy #magical #play #kinderactivities #earlyyears #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot

14.01.2022 Using kids interest is so important to increase motivation and also makes therapy or class work so much more fun! . . . #minion #supermario #lego #legobasedtherapy #legotherapy #brickclub #finemotor #play #kinderactivities #earlyyearsintervention #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot

11.01.2022 Cute and free story for kids about Coronavirus, that helps them to process their emotions and reassure them during this time.

11.01.2022 This little guy avoids most fine motor and pencil/paper activities but really enjoyed making this Christmas tree using a foam cone, coloured sticks and pop beads, working on his pencil grasp and hand strength without even realizing it! He was determined to do it all by himself too! Love this time of year! . . . #christmas #popbeads #minipaddlepopstick #christmastree #christmaskidscrafts #christmascraftsforkids #handmade #christmasot #kinderactivities #earlyyearsintervention #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot

06.01.2022 Excited to use our new Social Thinking and Me books & Should I? Or Shouldnt I? perspective taking game. As older kids (aged 8-12 years old) sometimes found our other social thinking resources to kiddy or babyish... So these will be perfect on working on social thinking and skills for those older kids! . . . .... #socialthinking #socialmind #socialskills #melbourneot #ot4kids #paediatricoccupationaltherapy #paedsot #pedsot #pediatricot #willowtherapyot #otaustralia @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

05.01.2022 I have been reading the The Whole Brain Child, I tend to go back and reread parts again and its AMAZING! I havent used the workbook but heard its very practical. So... if you are a PARENT and want to understand your childs thoughts, feelings and behaviours... or youre a TEACHER and want to get a better understanding of how to speak to your students through their emotions... or maybe youre a THERAPIST wanting to support the whole child and provide parents/ teachers with some great strategies... then I definitely recommend these books. #socialemotionallearning #socialskills #socialthinking #socialmind #ot #otaustralia #paediatricoccupationaltherapy #paediatricot #pediatricot #ot4kids #willowtherapyot #willowtherapy #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #wholebrainchild

05.01.2022 Love this time of year! Prepping my fingerprint stamp Christmas card visual for kiddos to choose a design from or get some inspiration from! Fingerprint art is a great way to work on finger isolation, visual-motor integration and also tactile sensitivity! . . . #christmas #christmascards #christmascraftsforkids #christmasart #fingerprintart #kinderactivities #earlyyearsintervention #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot

05.01.2022 Another great spring idea!!

05.01.2022 Who else loves wooden blocks? They are so versatile and can keep young kids engaged while also working on imaginative play, cooperative play, social skills and even visual-motor block patterns/memory skills. I sometimes grab a bag of blocks when meeting up with friends/family who have young kids and I obviously quickly become the favorite mums friend/aunty! . . . #blocks #buildingblocks #contructionplay #pretendplay #play #imaginativeplay #kinderactivities #earlyyearsinterv...ention #preschoolactivities #schoolreadiness #paediatricot #paedsot #pediatricot #ot4kids #occupationaltherapy #otaustralia #melbourneot #willowtherapyot #thisisot @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

04.01.2022 My niece loves making me garden soup using the leaves, flowers & some produce from grandpas garden. A great and fun way to work on fine motor and pretend play skills! . . . .... #natureplay #playoutside #100hoursoutside #gardensoup #finemotorskills #pretendplay #paedsot #paediatricot #pedsot #pediatricot #occupationaltherapy #ot4kids #melbourneot #willowtherapyot #otaustralia @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

03.01.2022 Standardized assessments and curriculum are not always valid to each child. When we meet the child where they are at and meet their needs using their unique strengths, thats being valid. Strategies are not one size fits all. Sometimes we have to think outside the box. Most of the time as parents, educators or therapists we have to take the time to really get to know the individual child, giving them and us the time needed to grow.... and that is OK! #ot #otaustralia #ot4kids #melbourneot #paediatricot #pediatricot #schoolbasedot #occupationaltherapy #willowtherapy #willowtherapyot
