  • Play not Therapy

    Parents who are raising children with disabilities often forget that there is a difference between therapy and play. In order to accomplish their therapeutic goals, children often play with toys. When it looks like a specific toy or piece of equipment is helping your child, you run out and buy it for him/her to "play" with it at home. Because your child must have the best chance and opportunity to develop. Therapy is work. I know, I just came back from physical therapy for my leg and it...
  • Balls, Balls, Balls Part II

    Yesterday we talked about sensory balls. Today we are going to talk about balls that are easy to catch. I was a horrible athlete growing up (my daughter would say that I shouldn't put a time limit on it and that I am still horrible). I couldn't catch a ball if my life depended on it. When I was the softball team they put me so far out in left field, I couldn't even tell when an inning was over. It scarred me for life : ) So to have balls that are easier to catch is so great. They are...
  • Balls, Balls, Balls

    One of my favorite first birthday gift to give, is to find a huge bag and fill them with all sorts of different balls. The balls will be used for years to come.

I figure that most of you can find regular balls all on your own without my suggestions, so I will let you hit all of the discount...

    My mother always taught me to send thank you letters for gifts. It was a lesson, I didn't learn very well. I always had good intentions--but somehow, even if I wrote them, they never made it to the mailbox. My mother, of course is right, so I am trying hard to tell my daughter to do as I say and not as I do. : ) Made by Hands , has made the perfect product for your children to make their own thank you cards. Made by Hands was started by two moms, who got tired of buying craft kits for birthdays...
  • Crayons

    CRAYONS? I know I was going to tell you about interesting products and brands that you never heard of before and here I am on just the second day talking about Crayola. Everyone knows about crayons. Everyone knows how important it is for children to color and have much they like to color. However, Crayola and the other art supply manufacturers have some new products. The exciting part of these products is they are universally designed toys. I talked about in my Toy Criteria that I don't think...
