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.

Celebrating 1,000,000 Page Views

A few weeks ago I was tickled to note that I had passed 1,000,000 page views. For this I have all of you to thank. I know that people stop by my blog for a number of reasons, because I have received many comments. Many are occupational therapists looking for ideas, some are looking for instructions that they have lost or never had, and others have left some of the funniest comments you could ever wish to read. They have all been kind, they have all made me smile, and I have appreciated every one of them.

With that said, I have to apologize for not keeping up so well since the pandemic. I have a stack of new games to add and promise to get back to it.

BTW - For the past few years Blogger had not let me add anything to the Games by Image page. As soon as I posted a new game on this page, the image would be uploaded to that page. I have tried to figure it out and have gotten nowhere. I have checked into switching to a website, but been told by Go Daddy that I have far too much content for that. I have also checked into moving this blog to another platform, such as WordPress, but with over 1,000 posts, what a lot of work that would be! So for now, it is what it is. But if/when I change, YOU will be the first to know. So for now, you can see new posts by scrolling to the bottom of a page and clicking on "older posts".

Thank you again for your interest. I hope you continue to enjoy my blog and I hope to hear from more of you in the future.
