Jump Rope Idea Refresher: Here are some ideas of activities to do with a rope - some with jumping, some without.  Hi-Lo: cross over a side-to-side swinging rope. Height varies. Snake: Cross over the rope as it swiggles on the ground. Swiggles may vary from narrow to wide. Variety Limbo: How low or high can you go? Get to the other side as the rope changes heights for each person. Some climp over, others under. TightRope Walking: Walk on the rope, toe-heel. Double Dutch: two ropes swing at once in opposite directions Chinese Jump rope: a stretchy loop rope (or 2 ropes tied together) that make 2 ropes at ankle height that you jump in and out of. Pull line: Child sits on a scooter and uses hand-over-hand movements to pull along a rope tied securely at one end. Cautiously try kneeling or standing on the scooter for those ready for a greater challenge. Tug Boat: Child holds end of a rope, while sitting on a scooter as it is pulled. (Use stablity & core muscles not to get pulled off scooter!) Clothesline: Use clips and hang papers, socks, pictures, letters, leaves, anything! Knots:  Practice tying them, untying them, fancy knots or old fashioned knots that happen all the time in shoelaces! A great workout for the hands!

Newsletter Compiled by Lisa Walker OTR Crayons Are Not Just For Coloring! Last week we spoke about coloring for children young and old.  It is a relaxing way to spend some time with your children or without.  Coloring with crayons on the floor, with a paper taped to a wall, or flat on the table are all great ways to work on fine motor control.  When breaking the crayon or using small crayons, such as crayon rocks, you will promote a mature tripod grasp.  When you are done with the crayons here are some fun activities you can do with them.  Melted Crayon Art: Take your crayon with the paper off and hold it over a piece of paper.  With a hair dryer, melt the crayon onto the paper.  More Crayon Art: Glue your crayons on a large canvas or piece of cardboard.  You can keep the wrapper on or peel it off.  After the crayons are glued to canvas, hold a hair dryer over the tip of the crayon.  Crayon Pick up Sticks: Pile up the crayons and play pick up sticks!  Can you get the purple crayon on the bottom?  The green crayon under the red?  Use spatial directions and colors in directions as you play.  Toy Truck and Car Art: Take a crayon or two and tape it to the back of the toy car or truck.  Place the car on a piece of paper, Make sure the crayon touches the paper and start driving.  What can you create? Crayon Melt Art If pick up sticks doesn't work- just glue them together and make a crayon sculpture.  Did You Know: The first box of Crayola crayons was made in 1903. It sold for a nickel and included the same basic eight colors available today: red, blue, yellow, green, violet, orange, black, and brown. 40 new colors were then added in 1949 - 46 years later! Binney and Smith, (maker of Crayola products), started in the late 1800s making the red pigment used in paint for American barns and carbon black that Goodrich later added to tires to change the natural white of the rubber to black. Alice Binney gave Crayola its name. Combining the words craie (French for chalk) with the first part of the word oleaginous (the oily paraffin wax) to make the word ‘crayola. March 31st is National Crayon Day. In 1958 the "Big Box of Crayons" had 64 crayons and now a sharpener! You're receiving this because you subscribed or placed an order with Pocket Full of Therapy.
