Welcome

Here you will find many of the products I recommend to my patients or ones I use myself for my little ones. They are great ways to work on skills and foster proper development. 

Our favorite Items

Tiny Tikes

Lovevery Play Gym

THIS has become a trendy product and for good reason!! I used this product daily with my little one adapting it to each stage of infancy. It's the perfect spot for floor time with lots of sensory experiences. 

Upseat

THIS is one of the few containers I approve as a therapist. Its design allows for optimal hip position for development an allows for trunk rotation with less limitation compared to other seats. I loved to used this while my daughter was learning to sit up and was a convenient on the go high chair, too!

FIggy play couch

THIS is another trendy item and it holds up to the hype! After researching many brands out there, I decided on the Figgy for a few reasons. I love that the 4 main cushions can be detached from one another offering more creativity. It's a bonus that its Velcro connectors offer opportunities for fine motor strengthening! The many configurations makes this awesome for little ones learning to crawl, pull to stand, and climb all the way up to older kids who are limited only by their imagination! 

Soft Climbers

The soft climbing blocks are a great plays cape for the littlest movers. I love using these in the clinic for learning to crawl and strengthening postural positions. Its fun as they grow for obstacle courses, too! 

Pikler Triangle Set

The versatility of this climbing set is awesome. Such a great way to work on coordination and get weight bearing through the hands- an essential part of fine motor development. 

Spike the Hedgehog

Great practice for visual motor skills!! The little spikes are a lovely teether according to my daughter, too. 

Velcro Busy Board

I used this a lot when traveling and at home as a way of working on a variety of skills. 

Large Knob Puzzle

Great introduction to puzzles to work on those visual motor skills. 

Honey Sticks

These beeswax based crayons are a great short stubby shape for the tiniest hands. The non toxic materials smell amazing, too!


Building your Sensory Space

Kids Teepee

THIS is offers a great space for relaxation and sensory decompression. Great for many ages!

Harkla Swing

THIS is the swing I use in the clinic and is a favorite for most of my clients. It provides deep pressure input while also giving opportunities to swing! 

Pod Swing

I love that this swing provides opportunity for movement but also a quiet space to hang out. 

Peanut Ball

THIS is a great versatile ball that can be used for activities, alternative seating, or to provide pressure input to your kiddo! I like this shape as it's safer if you're not around to help your child. 

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones are a great alternative to being outdoors in nature and working on balance and motor planning. The varying heights add to the challenge while hopping from one stone to the next. Great to add into an obstacle course with a tunnel, puzzle, or trampoline. 

Tunnel

A tunnel is a great way to work on crawling! If you've followed me you know how important crawling is for development for babies and older kids. The tunnel is a great motivating way to encourage crawling and create some awesome obstacle courses! 

Climbing Set

A Climbing set is a great way to get your kiddo moving and challenging their motor coordination. Weight bearing through our hands and climbing is so important for hand development and core strength! I love that this is versatile too and can be folded for storage. 

Trampoline

Let your little one burn off some steam while working on their endurance, strength, and balance! 

Ball Pit

A great way to give your child some input on their whole body. Plus the balls can be used in so many fun ways, too!

Wooden Balance Beam

I love this balance beam because it can come apart and be made into different shapes!! Plus its easy to store.

Figgy Play Couch

Play couches are all the rage! I love the Figgy because the cushions are all firm and sturdy AND they come apart and can be reconfigured with their velcro edges. 

Weighted Lap Cat

The weight of this furry friend is very calming and super versatile. Can be use in car rides, while reading books, or during play.

Crash Pad

An essential in a sensory space! It allows for a safe place to crash and a comfy place to relax. 

Gym Mat

It's important to have gym mats when creating a sensory space particularly under any swing set up. 

Body Sock

If you don't have the space for something like a compression swing, this is a great way to give some compression input!!


Zoom Ball

THIS is one of my favorite ways to work on upper body strengthening. You can get creative with how you use it by adding in a metronome to match the beat or move your arms in other directions to zoom the ball back and forth! 

Ezy roller

THIS is a fun way to work on those gross motor coordination skills. All you need is  flat ground! You propel yourself by moving your feet back and fort and creating momentum. 

Scooter Board

THIS classic gym fav is great to work on motor skills and strength. I typically use this by having kids lay on their rummy and move the scooter with their hands. It's a great way to work on hand and upper body strength. 

Ninja Course

I love this option to work on so many skills. PLUS it gets your kiddos outside! 

Active Dice

Making moving our bodies more fun and engaging!! Great for motor planning practice. 

Body Awareness Deck

THIS is a game you simply can't go wrong with.  It's great for family game night and not only works on fine motor skills but overall body awareness and impulse control.

THIS is a game that continues to surprise me. It's one of the most requested to play. Great for working on index isolation as well as bilateral coordination when trying to catch the jumping bear. 

Honeybee tree

THIS is a fun new take on Kerplunk. Moving slowly to keep the bees from waking. Setting up this game is just as therapeutic (if not more so) than play itself. Lots of fine motor skills addressed here! 

Lacing boards

THIS simple and classic activity is great for fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, and visual motor skills. You can change up how to lace the boards and see if your kiddo can find errors as they go. 

GEOboard

THIS is a great way to work on fine motor and visual motor skills. You can get creative, too, by having your child design their own creation and then have them draw what they made. another great way to incorporate those visual skills. 

Rush Hour

I LOVE this game. In fact, we have 3 at the clinic! Its great for motor, visual, and problem solving skills. 

Superslide

This is a great problem solving game with over 500 levels, it never gets boring. 

Superblocks

Another great problem solving and visual perceptual game. 

Blokus

This is great for family game night!!! See if you can get all the pieces on the board, but the tetrus shaped pieces make it harder than you'd expect.

A fun classic game great for those fine motor skills.
