I'm getting ready to go to a 2 day PD (Cognitive Coaching), so I put together a box of quiet, settling activities for Aaron:
*pipe cleaners & pony beads
*play dough & tools
*dinosaur lacing cards
*pom-poms with straws and tongs
*feathers & straws
*piggy bank and coins
*texture plates, paper, and special pencils
I also put in a stretchy headband and exercise bands for more active play with resistance. He's really on a puzzle kick right now - of course the puzzle he loves is an alphabet train missing 2 pieces which frustrates him. This morning we did some swinging and train in the stretchy fabric, but he wasn't in the mood for the peanut stability ball and I couldn't talk him into letting me turn him into a yoga matt burrito.
All of the OT work has been wonderful for giving me more ideas of how to play with him, and he's a much more pleasant child now.
