✋🏼 Did you know that the Tactile sense is one of the first senses to develop in utero? The perception of touch helps us learn about, and explore our environment. We don’t really notice, but we utilize this sense all day long to complete daily activities!

For a child that has difficulty with processing tactile stimuli, performing daily tasks might be challenging, frustrating, and even scary.

💪🏼Heavy Work💪🏼 A few weeks ago I bought each child a laundry basket to put in their room (I was tired of telling them to pick up their cloths off the floor and put it in the laundry room 😬). This morning when I saw my little one lifting the basket and carrying it to the laundry room, I thought “what a great way to incorporate sensory input—> proprioceptive input into her daily routine!”
•
Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and weight-bearing, are all heavy work activities that provide intense input to the joints and muscles (the receptors of the proprioceptive system), and promote self and emotional regulation. Including these type of activities into your child’s daily routine will support their overall sensory processing and assist with controlling their ability to respond to sensory stimuli.

Skills in a Box is our monthly product full of fun activities delivered to your door.
Each month we release a box that works and targets a fundamental developmental skill. The box contains the materials needed and the activity ideas to help develop and promote kids’ developmental skills with playful and engaging activities.

When creating Skill in a Box, one of my main goals was to help parents and educators understand the importance of looking at the child as a whole. Utilizing a bottom-up approach and the concepts of the Learning Pyramid theory, I designed these boxes so parents can start supporting their children developmental skills in sequential order, strengthening the underlying skills, and building their child’s success, one box at a time!
