So many great skills in one little fidget!!!

Sooooo many skills are developed with a popper fidget! Then add letters to the bubbles or place beads to sort into colored sections of the popper to add visual motor skills.

How do you use one of these tools in therapy for skill-building?

Does your child have difficulty settling down to go to bed? Consider adding one or some of these to their nightly routine!!

Transitioning from the day's 🌞 high energy activities to the night's🌛 calming bedtime routine might be tough for kids. How can you help?

Choose movements that provide:

1️⃣ Deep pressure input

2️⃣ Resistance

3️⃣ Compression

These inputs send calming signals to the brain, helping kids' bodies release tension and relax in preparation for going to sleep 😴
