Your kids might be on winter break but that doesn’t mean they can’t take the opportunity to continue to learn! Here are some easy sensory tips to follow for at-home learning. 

Create a Schedule 

Creating a simple list each morning helps your kiddo keep track of the day and know what’s next. 

Change up the Seating

Your kiddo doesn’t need to sit in a chair all day! Swap out the traditional chair with a yoga ball or bean bag chair. Offering different seating options can help keep your child focused and paying attention. 

Let them Move! 

Taking breaks to allow your kiddo a chance to move around will help keep them on task. Simple yoga breaks help keep their brain sharp! 

Use Timers

Visual timers allow kids to know how long they need to be seated at the table, breaking tasks down into smaller activities can also help keep your child on track and focused! 

Following these easy sensory tips will ensure your child continues to learn all winter long!
