Why use learning activities?

Children learn best through play, and they develop their skills through play. For children to learn new tasks, or to change the way they usually do things, it is best to engage them in fun, flop-proof activities that allow them to experience success.


You can find lists of "helpful" activities in many sites and blogs, so…

What makes this site different?

You will NOT find "lists" of things-to-do!!

Instead, you can look at activities that have been found to be the most helpful for that particular area, with step-by-step instructions, and lots of photos of real kids doing those activities!

By showing you photos, you will be able to see for yourself how to do the activities, and how NOT to do them, and in this way we hope that you will be inspired to do the learning activities with your own children at home!

These activities have been inspired by years of occupational therapy (OT) with children in various circumstances, and it is hoped that you will find them beneficial as you strive to help your child!

You can read more about why some kids need extra learning activities.

"I just wanted to thank you for sharing such wonderful information via your website.

I teach in a self-contained special education classroom. Most of my children aren't able to write because their fine motor is just not developed.

I was searching for fine motor activities when I came across your website. Your activities are awesome and I look forward to trying some of them with my students. Your explanations of "why" were so insightful, so helpful; really caused me to think.

Again, thank you so much!"
