Children learn through play. As an occupational therapist who works with children and youth, I use games and toys almost every day to help develop important cognitive, visual perceptual, motor, sensory, social, play and leisure skills. While many different types of activities can be used in therapy, this blog focuses on off-the-shelf games and toys that are accessible to most. Whether you are a therapist, parent, teacher, or a game lover like me, I hope you discover something useful while you are here. Learn a different way to play a game you already own or discover a new game for your next family game night. Either way, just go play. It's good for you!
The OT Magazine named The Playful Otter one of the Top 5 Pediatric OT Blogs.
Below are images of games and toys that I have blogged about.Click on an image to read my post about that item. Check out ideas for use in therapy at the end of most posts under TRY THIS.
