All month long, BAC clinicians will be bringing you some FUNctional gift ideas! Our physical therapists are up next:
🔴 Cardboard blocks: Encourage activities like stacking (and knocking down!), making a balance beam, and jumping over the blocks, in order to help improve strength, coordination, balance, and body awareness.
🟡 Cornhole: This game promotes hand-eye coordination, balance, and upper body strength as children practice bend, squat, reach, step, and toss the bean bags into the holes. It can also be a fun social activity!
🔵 Soft climbing structure: If it's too cold to get outside, bring the playground inside by using these squishy pieces to build indoor obstacle courses!
🔴 Twister: Twister can be used to reach gross motor goals by promoting balance, flexibility, and coordination as children twist, bend, and reach to place their hands and feet on the colored spots. The game also encourages body awareness and spatial orientation while engaging multiple muscle groups in a fun, interactive way!
