OT Mom E-Books

What's the Difference Between My Website And My E-Books?

My website is free and accessible, and contains hundreds of photographed activities, reams of helpful information and tips to help you help your child.

However, to make it easier for parents, I have compiled a lot of my information and activities into affordable e-books that can be downloaded and accessed whenever you need them. In addition, many of my e-books contain additional activities, as well as resources, such as checklists and planners which are not found on my website.

I understand first hand the financial restraints that parents face, so I have chosen activities that are easily replicated at home and that mostly use inexpensive everyday resources.

It is important to note that my website and e-books are NOT a substitute for occupational therapy. If your child is struggling, please get an occupational therapy evaluation to get to the bottom of the problem. You can use the activities to supplement whatever therapy your child is already receiving, but please do check with your child’s therapist first.

Christmas Printables

I created these Christmas printable packs to help kids work on their fine motor skills with a Christmas theme. Often, kids with poor fine motor skills feel that they can't make anything look nice, but my Christmas Scissor Cutting and Fine Motor Christmas Activities give them lots of opportunities to do a Christmas activity with a lovely end result.

I also love word searches as a way of helping kids work on visual discrimination and figure-ground perception skills, so I created a bunch that can be used at Christmas-time!

Fine Motor Christmas Activity Pages

• More than 30 easy-to-use Christmas printables for home, school and Sunday school
• Work on fine motor,  visual motor and figure-ground perception
• Pages are in black and white, to save on ink
