Keeping children engaged at home can be a challenge and even more so when your child has a disability. But play is powerful. It’s not just fun it’s how children learn, connect, and build confidence, no matter their abilities.
At @anawtoflii, we believe in inclusive play.
Here are 10 simple, joyful, and developmentally supportive activities you can try with your child at home:
- 🧸 Use a tray with sensory or suction toys to stimulate touch and curiosity.
- ⚽ Create a soft ball game adapted to your child’s movement abilities.
- 🎥 Record their laughter or play and watch or listen together — it boosts connection.
- 🍽 Let your child help in the kitchen with safe utensils or mimic your actions.
- 🎨 Try painting or coloring with large-handled brushes or finger painting.
- 📚 Read books or look through family photos in a cozy, supported position.
- 🌊 Explore textures using trays of water, sand, or rice.
- 🧁 Play with dough using cookie cutters or easy-grip cups.
- 🔠 Do puzzles or make simple flashcards for colors, shapes, or numbers.
- 🥁 Make music! Use pots, spoons, or homemade instruments to move and groove.
💛 The secret? Be present. Be playful. And celebrate every small moment.
With love, from @anawtoflii supporting all children, every step of the way.
