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.

Travel Qwirkle

Qwirkle - A travel size that can fit in your purse, backpack or pocket (if you have big pockets)

Do you love Qwirkle so much that you don't want to leave home without it? Lucky for you there's a travel size Qwirkle. The nylon-type pouch holds the 108 3/4" wooden tiles. It plays just like the original Qwirkle, and since I have already blogged about the original it wouldn't make any sense to repeat it. Therefore, click here to see the rules for this game and other ways you can play with it in therapy.
