Happy Thursday! What a week full of playing in the gym and collaboratory; taking long walks; and enjoying a little bit of outside time on the warmer days. We sure will miss those warm days as we look ahead to the colder weather next week, bummer!
You may remember the slime the boys played in at the beginning of the week and as fun as that was, it quickly became quite a mess!
Exhibit A
So! We needed to change up our game plan a little bit because the play was no longer purposeful and just kind of ended in a screaming helplessness of sticky hands. Ah!
Over the last few days we began switching up the different sensory experiences. Unfortunately floam wasn't really contributing to our play much either and didn't last long. In fact, it was going into mouths rather than being squished between hands and fingers. Today we decided that some playdoh might be the way to go.
Turns out, playdoh was the best fit! You can see below how B was able to focus on his play and incorporate some of the playdoh into it. He was no longer focused on trying to get the slime or floam off, but on the animals in front of him. It made for a really nice few minutes of him independently engaged. Way to go, B!
