Make butter for Thanksgiving! - Pour about 1/8 cup heavy cream into a glass jar with a lid. Now all you have to do is shake! Shake and shake some more. The heavy cream will turn to whipped cream then butter. You will have to pour some excess liquid out of the jar before using the butter. Great activity for you kids to do while you are cooking!

Identify Your Sensory Speed With a Self-Odometer
For a lot of kids, verbally communicating how they're feeling, especially when they feel out of control is very difficult. It can be frustrating for both the child and adult and can escalate behaviors even more. So improve communication with this activity on identifying sensory speed with a self-odometer!
Visual aides are very helpful for assisting a child and adult when trying to communicate feelings and “energy levels”. Based on “How Does Your Engine Run”, children compare themselves to cars. Keeping things very simplistic for the child, use 3 “engine speeds” which the child selects as most closely resembling their own current “speed: Too slow, Just Right, or Too Fast. Make this special internal odometer with your child when he is calm and discuss what each of the speeds feels and means to him. Incorporate pictures like these faces into a drawing of a speed odometer to help illustrate the various speed levels to help reinforce the concepts.
Then work on constructing the odometer with the child so that the child feels a sense of ownership of it once its completed. (Every child, no matter what the skill level can help construct the odometer in some way, even if its just picking out the colors they want to use).. Here is the directions and pictures to make one for your child...

Add Coding-Sequencing & Planning
<![endif]-->
 Coding is all the "Thing" right now - for ALL ages.But what is it and why do you want to include it in sessions?The very basics are Sequencing, Planning, Logic, Cause & Effect and Memory. All good stuff that you already address - Now just make it Hi-Tec & Cool! 
Meet Jack, the Programmable mouse, this cute little fellow is ready to follow commands given in a sequence. Use the double-sided directional/coding cards to plan a step-by-step path for Jack to follow. This little guy makes it easy. Plan your route to get to a designated spot, maybe around an obstacle to touch a yellow block of pretend cheese. (i.e. - 3 steps forward, turn left, forward two steps, left...) now press the arrow buttons on Jack's back in that order. Laying out the cards will help you plan and remember the steps. Then hit go. Did he make it or do you need to make changes to the route?
CONGRATULATIONS - You just did code-programming! Jack measures 4"L and requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).
Coding is motivating for all ages!
 OZOBOT
An amazing robot in a teeny-tiny body. Clients , young and not so young, will be fascinated by his ability to read and follow a simple drawn line. ANY LINE, ANY PAPER, ANY MARKER - REALLY! Use red, he turns red, blue, green the same. Suddenly drawing broad, firm lines and smooth curves that he can follow becomes the goal.
For more of a challenge... Add the add small spots of color - in the correct order, and now you have given Ozobot a command. Turn Around; Go faster; Turn left... Design a path with dead ends or road blocks and code him to turn around or avoid that turn all together. But Ozo can not read scribble, so lines and color codes need to be drawn with some care with attention to detail. Use any paper. Extra large sheets on the floor, can encourage upper extremity weight bearing while working. Use codes to correctly follow a word or name written in cursive. You can also use him on an ipad or go online to design patterns that you then print out.
And this is just the beginning - The website has activities and so much many more things that Ozobot can do. Here's a link to a short video with little more info.
