Fun Easter Activities For Your Kiddos!

April 1, 2021 By admin

I wanted to take a quick break before the last primitive reflexes blog post and discuss some fun Easter activities to do over this holiday weekend!

These activities can be modified to be completed in any position (seated at a desk, prone on the floor, prone on a peanut ball, etc) and are a fun and interactive way to bond with your child, while assisting them in reaching their therapeutic goals.

These crafts will work on:

  • Separation of the two sides of the hand (when using tongs, scissors, etc)
  • Scissor skills
  • Pinch skills
  • 3-jaw chuck formation
  • Visual-perceptual skills
  • Visual scanning skills
  • Figure ground skills
  • Color matching/recognition
  • Lacing to prepare for learning how to tie shoes
  • Numerical skills
  • And more!

🌟 Just a very important day in the life of an O 🌟 Just a very important day in the life of an OT 🌟

Today was full of those magical moments that remind me why I love what I do. 💛

💪 The squeeze machine and steamroller worked their magic — helping kids build body awareness, deep pressure regulation, and that calming input their nervous systems crave.

🎪 The acrobat swing and climbing layers took courage and focus — strengthening core muscles, balance, motor planning, and confidence one brave swing at a time.

And the best part? Seeing the excitement in their eyes when they get it. ✨

📚 My book, What Is OT?, is opening doors for so many conversations with kids, parents, and teachers — helping everyone understand how amazing and powerful Occupational Therapy really is. The stories are spreading, and it’s truly a success.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported this journey — this is only the beginning! 💕

Hi friends, it’s Justine 💕 Most of you know Hi friends, it’s Justine 💕

Most of you know me as a pediatric occupational therapist here in Westport, CT at Building Blocks Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services. For years, families have asked me the same big question: “What is OT, and what will my child do there?”

So, I poured my heart into creating something that would explain it in a way kids could truly connect with.

📚 The What Is OT? Series is a seven-book collection that breaks down the many skills we work on in OT — from fine motor and sensory, to life skills and social-emotional growth. Each story is colorful, fun, and written to help kids see themselves in the characters.

And here’s the part that makes it extra special for me — the main characters are inspired by my own children, nieces, nephews, and even some OT friends who’ve been part of my journey. This series is my little love letter to the kids I work with every day, and to a profession that means the world to me.

✨ My hope is that these books give parents, teachers, and therapists tools to share what OT really is, and how it helps kids learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for cheering me on as I put this dream into the world — I’m so excited to share it with you 💜

Follow along @justinebedocs, @buildingblockspediatricot, and @buildingblocksbookseries for updates as the series comes to life!
