Freebie Friday #4: Visual Motor Skills

26/6/2014

 
Welcome to my new subscribers!  There are a quite a few of you in the last week. Thanks for joining us at Your Kids OT and I hope you enjoy reading the blog. I love to hear from you, so let me know!  

Today it's Freebie Friday #4... Visual Motor Skills. 
If you have been following the blog this week, you would have noticed that I have been focusing on visual perception.  If you missed it, here are the links to Behavioural Optometry...vision more than seeing and I spy with my little eye.

Picture
Visual Perception is the process of extracting and organising information, giving meaning to what we see.  It is required to perform everyday (motor) tasks, such as reading, copying information from a board or understanding symbols.  

Here are some great freebies to encourage your child's development of their visual motor skills.  Click on the title or the photo for links directly to the relevant website.

edHelper: A wide range of visual motor skill worksheets.
Picture
Your Therapy Source: A wide range of printables with some as samples for paid products.

Have you been bookmarking the Freebie Friday series?  Here are the links to previous Freebie Fridays in case you missed them...
  • Freebie Friday #1: Pre-writing Skills
  • Freebie Friday #2: Cutting
  • Freebie Friday #3: Drawing

It is the last day of school term for us today and I am giving myself a blog-break over our school holidays to spend some time with Miss 7 and Mr 4.  I will be posting links to previous posts during this time so you will have some suggestions to do over the holidays.  So please stay around and I would appreciate it if you don't unsubscribe or unlike me during this time!  

What are you planning to do these school holidays?  We are doing birthday celebrations #2 for Mr just -turned-4 years with his just-turned-4 years cousin this weekend.  I've just finished her cake ... I love playing around with fondant.  It is my therapy!  

Happy Holidays!!

I spy with my little eye...

24/6/2014

 
There are lots of great "spying" books on the market which encourage kids to find objects within a page.  The classics include "Animalia" and "Where's Wally". 

The ability to see an object or form in a complex background with lots of visual information is called figure ground which is a visual perceptual skill. Some of these books also include visual closure (where you can see part of a picture) and form constancy (picture is a different size or orientation). 

Picture
Here are some "spying" books that would be great to use at home, preschool, school or in a therapy situation.  They also make excellent presents for your children's friends.  I have used some of these books to find the objects listed and then with older children, used the same page as a writing activity {encouraging children to notice the scene, people and/or events taking place}.

I spy: Series by Jean Marzollo.  Illustrated and photographed by Walter Wick.
This includes I spy a school bus, school, treasure hunt, butterfly, little animals, monsters, etc.   There is also a sticker book version where you can match the sticker or create your own "I spy" page. 

This is a great series for preschoolers and certainly kept mine busy on a recent aeroplane trip.  All the books (except the sticker book) are small and thin, so they are very easy to pop into a handbag or backpack as an "on the go" activity. 
Picture
Picture Find: By Hinkler Books.
This is a large A3 size book.  The pages can be ripped out of the book and used individually. We have taken out a page at a time to fold up and bring with us to a restaurant.  I have also given individual pages to students as their "OT homework". 

There are boxes for your child to "tick" when they have found the picture.  It is helpful if your child can read as some of the pictures are labelled rather than drawn.  However, these pages could be completed with another family member or in a small group. There are a wide variety of themes through the book that will appeal to boys and girls.
Picture

1001 things to Spot: Series by Usborne.
Another great series which includes 1001 things to spot in the town, in fairyland, at Christmas, in the sea, pirate things to spot, etc.  These are the books that I have used with my school-age OT students as a writing activity. 
Picture
501 Things to find: Series by Hinkler
Simple pictures to find suitable for preschoolers. Mr-just-turned-4 years received the construction one for his birthday from a friend and has spent hours pouring of this book.

Hidden Pictures: Workbook & CD-ROM by School Zone 
A range of Hidden Pictures books available for a wide age range.  The CD software enables you to create your own hidden picture pages using your computer. 
Picture
Animalia by Graeme Base
Animalia is a fantastic letter hunt book with a difference.  The illustrations are incredible and the rhymes hysterical.  It is a classic and a must-have for your home library.
Picture

Where's Wally (or Waldo) by Martin Handford
Another classic book for big kids and grown ups too.

Behavioural Optometry... Vision more than seeing.

22/6/2014

 
Picture
"Behavioural Optometry is an expanded area of optometric practice. Behavioural optometrists have a holistic approach to the treatment of vision and vision information processing problems. Functional visual efficiency is known to influence visual status. The way that you interpret what you see does not depend solely on how clear your eyesight is. Consideration must be given to all your visual, visual motor and visual cognitive skills." Australiasian College of Behavioural Optometrists.


I recently went to a seminar held at Thompson Larter & Associates Behavioural Optometrists about Vision Skills testing.  It was interesting to hear from optometrists who not only test for short and far sightedness and astigmatism but also go further to test vision skills (the ability of the eyes to concentrate and attend without mental effort).  
The areas they test and treat include:
  • Binocularity: Ability of the eyes to work together as a team
  • Oculomotility: Ability to track or follow a moving object
  • Accommodation: Ability to rapidly change focus from distance to near viewing
  • Visual Perception: skills to understand what we see in the word around us
  • Visual Motor Integration: Eye-hand-body coordination.

Whilst OTs and optometrists both look at visual perceptual skills and visual motor integration, we come from different approaches.  Optometrists will use lenses, prisms, vision therapy and light/colour therapy to address vision skills.  OTs have a motor skills based approached to training in visual perceptual and visual-motor skills.  We are also have expertise and experience to modify activities and the environment to help those who have difficulty in this area.   OTs and behavioural optometrists work together for the benefit of the student.

Here are some indicators of problems with visual function or visual processing skills.

VISUAL FUNCTION
Eye Focus problems may include-
  •  child complaining of blurred vision, 
  • eyestrain or burning eyes after task completed,
  • headaches,
  • rubbing eyes,
  • inattention to visual detail,
  • poor reading comprehension,
  • squinting, peering.

Eye tracking problems may include-
  • loses place when reading/copying, 
  • skips or re-reads words, letters, lines,
  • uses finger to skip place,
  • poor reading comprehension,
  • moves head excessively during reading.

Eye teaming problems may include-
  • Covers/closes one eye when reading,
  • rubs eyes,
  • eyestrain, headaches,
  • words seem to float or move,
  • inattention,
  • clumsy with ball skills,
  • unusual head turn or body posture when reading or writing.

VISUAL INFORMATION PROCESSING
Visual Spatial problems may include-
  • Poor coordination and balance,
  • clumsy, falls, bumps into things,
  • both sides of body don't work together,
  • difficulty knowing right from left,
  • letter and number reversals when writing.

Visual-Analysis problems may include-
  • difficulty learning alphabet and sight words,
  • difficulty with maths concepts of size, magnitude and position,
  • confuses likeness and minor differences
  • difficulty recognising same word on page.

Visual-Motor integration problems may include-
  • difficulty copying from the board,
  • poor drawing and/or writing skills,
  • poor spacing/inability to stay on the lines,
  • slow with writing activities,
  • knowledge and test results conflict.

Visual-auditory integration problems may include-
  • difficulty matching colours to colour names,
  • difficulty matching shapes to shape names,
  • difficulty matching letters and numbers to their names,
  • difficulty with rhyming activities,
  • poor spelling,
  • difficulty learning to read phonetically.

Freebie Friday #3: Drawing

19/6/2014

 
I have already mentioned in another post that I encourage all kids (of ages) to draw and experiment with drawing.  It is important in helping with visual motor planning and spatial organisation for handwriting.  

The benefits of drawing for children include:
  • Learning to plan and execute their ideas.
  • Improving their fine motor skills.
  • Increasing their ability to observe the world around them.
  • Developing more awareness of spatial relationships.
  • Strengthening critical thinking and problem solving skills.
  • Building self-confidence and independence.

When pinching is ok!

17/6/2014

 
In this post I am encouraging your child to pinch.

OK, it is not about pinching other children.  Not pinching as in stealing. But... pinching...it's great....for fine motor development. 

A "Pincer Grasp"  typically develops in children between 9-11 months of age.  A pincer grasp enables a child to pick up a small object (think Cheerio size) with the pad of the thumb and the pad of the index finger (whilst the hand, wrist and arm are off the table). 

Picture
Over time as the pincer grasp develops, it enables the development of intrinsic hand muscles with strength, dissociation of the two sides of the hand, in-hand manipulation of objects, tripod grasp of a pencil and an open webspace.

There are lots of activities to encourage your child with their pincer grasp.  Here are just a few...

Write and Play Packages.

15/6/2014

 
Pretend play is an important part of a childhood.  It incorporates "conventional imaginative play (play with toys such as dolls and trucks) and symbolic play (ie. play with unstructured objects or inanimate objects)" ~Stagnetti. 

Pretend play provides children with safe environments to experiment with language, social interaction, solve problems, tell stories, incorporate emotion, use objects, sequence events, role play a character and more. 

Some children have difficulty with aspects of play mentioned above.  An OT can help to assess a child's pretend play skills and assist with the development of these skills.  Read more from Karen Stagnetti's website "Children need to Play" at  http://www.karenstagnitti.com/ for more information about pretend play. 

I have developed some "Write and Play" packages to encourage both writing and pretend play.  These packages are designed for children requiring extra motivation and opportunities for writing.  There may be a specific theme that your child is really interested in and this provides the motivation to write.

The "Write and Play" packages will also encourage pretend play.  I have developed two themes so far - Airline and Circus themes.  Purchase them from the "Your Kids OT Shop", print and cut out the various parts.  You might use this in family setting at home with siblings playing together.  You might use this a therapy setting with other "pretend" participants.  

The "Airline Write and Play" package includes-
  • 6 boarding passes
  • 2 in-flight entertainment sheets
  • 2 in-flight menus
  • 8 baggage tags
  • Name tags for pilot, co-pilot and flight attendants.

There are places for your children to write names, dates, places, gate numbers, times, TV shows, movies, games,  food options, address, telephone numbers and more!  
Picture
Airline Write and Play package.
The "Circus Write and Play" package includes -
  • Welcome to the circus poster.
  • 6 x Admit one tickets
  • Big Top Program
  • 6 x Circus stall food items

There are places for your child to write their name, date of performance, program order and food stall prices. 
Picture

I have lots of themes in progress... is your child interested in a particular "pretend play" theme?  Let me know in the comments below and if I use your child's suggestion, I will send you the package free!  I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Visit my shop today for these packages and more.

Freebie Friday #2: Cutting skills printables

12/6/2014

 
Welcome to "Freebie Friday #2", where I bring my favourite free printables from the web to you. This post {part 2} includes free cutting skills printables. 

Did you read the first "Freebie Friday post"? Some of the printables found at Freebie Friday #1: Free Pre-Writing Printables may also be suitable for cutting. Lines used for tracing could also be cut by your child.

If you don't like any of these sites, your child may prefer cutting up strips of colour paper, newspaper and shopping catalogues!  They may prefer to cut out shapes to make a homemade path (read the post from earlier in the week here).

I do hope you find something from these websites that your child will enjoy (or find a challenge). There are hours of cutting to be had!  What do your kids like cutting?  Let me know, I love to hear from you!

Recipe: Spiced Freckle Slice

10/6/2014

 
Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon ... I love the smell and taste of these spices although I've only acquired this taste as I've matured {ahem - got older}.  My kids on the other hand love these flavours already!

This beautiful slice has all these lovely spices with a little freckle treat on top which is extra appeal to those kids.  The recipe was originally given to me by a friend and I've tweaked it a little to simplify it.

You will find the complete visual photo sequence recipe in the Your Kids OT shop and a summary below.  Do take some time to preview the full recipe as well as others I have produced - the layout is especially designed for kids and people with disabilities - {and I spend a long time putting them together}!
Picture

Ingredients

125 g butter (softened to room temperature)
½ cup brown sugar
2 cups plain flour
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup golden syrup
24 freckles

Picture

Equipment needed

Stand mixer (or hand beaters)
Microwave safe jug
Lined baking tin (30 x 20 cm)
Measuring cups
Mixing spoon
Foil
Picture

Method
1.   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2.  Cream (beat) the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the flour.
3.  Add the ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon.  Mix together.
4.  Place the golden syrup in the microwave and heat for 1 minute.
5.  With the beaters mixing slowly, add the warmed golden syrup until dough forms a ball.
6.  Press mixture into a lined baking tin.
7.  Press 24 freckles into the wet mixture and bake for 45 minutes.  Cover with foil if needed.
8.  Allow to cool in the tin and then slice with one freckle in each piece. Enjoy!!
Picture

Adult supervision may be (most probably) required with use of the mixer, microwave and oven. Additional help will be needed to monitor the bake and adding the foil during the cooking time if the slice browns too quickly.  It will be worth it!  It is delicious.  Try it today.  Happy Baking!

Tracing and Scissor Skill Practise to Make a Colour Shape Path!

8/6/2014

 
Picture
Fun with colours and shapes!

Using both hands together can be tricky for some kids! Bilateral coordination is so important in helping children to establish a dominant hand and in working on more complicated skills as your child develops.

This simple homemade path of coloured shapes is a great activity for your toddler or preschooler.  They can help you to make it {using bilateral coordination of their hands and fine motor skills} and then use it to identify shapes and colours {using their gross motor skills and learning concepts}.  


What do you need?
  • Strip of contact paper (approx 2 metres)
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Coloured paper
  • Crayon (or other drawing tool)
  • Shapes to trace (I used wooden coasters)



Picture

What do you need to do?
1. Trace around shapes onto coloured paper. 
Picture
2. Cut around traced shapes.
Picture
Tracing and cutting are both activities that encourage bilateral coordination of hands.  One hand (usually the non-dominant) needs to stabilise the paper and the other hand (usually the dominant) needs to use the implement (ie. crayon or scissors).  

Your preschooler may need help to trace around the shapes without moving the crayon to the other hand.   They may need help stabilising the shape they are holding so it doesn't move whilst it is being traced.  

Your preschooler will need time to practise and become confident with manipulating the paper to turn as they cut around the shape.  They may require some assistance to turn the paper and encouragement to stay on the line during cutting.  


3. Lay out your contact paper.  Peel back the paper (I did half at a time) and stick down the shapes varying the colours and shapes along the path. 
Picture

How do you use this?
This path may be used with an individual child or several children together in a setting.  It would work really well in a family day care setting where there are several children in a small group.  Great for turn taking, waiting and other social skills. 

There are many ways to encourage your child with the concepts of shapes and colours.  Depending on the chosen activity, it may also promote bilateral coordination of the legs (used for walking, jumping, hopping) and eye/hand coordination.
  • Walk or jump on one shape or colour to reach the other end of the path (eg. find all the stars).
  • Identify shapes and colours as you walk on them.
  • Balance on one foot on a identified shape or colour.  
  • Throw a bean bag onto the identified shape or colour.
  • Place markers (toys, figurines, pom poms, etc) on a certain shape or colour.
  • Count the shapes or colours.
  • Draw over the shapes with a dry-erase marker.  
  • Decorate the shapes with patterns using a dry-erase marker.
  • Turn it into a mini "Twister" where feet and hands can be place on certain colours or shapes.

Although the weather is cooling down here, my northern hemisphere readers might want to get out some water bombs and throw them at the appropriate shapes or colours!  

Picture
Try making this colour shape path with your toddler or preschooler.  They will love to see that their tracing and cutting is put to use and can be "played" with.  Let me know if you try it out!
