🌱 Emotional Connection to Nature Emotional connections to nature are planted in play. Whether it’s pedaling along a garden path, watching bees buzz by, or picking wildflowers, children are developing more than motor skills. They are cultivating care. 💚 Play is a natural bridge between curiosity and compassion. When kids explore the outdoors with joy and freedom, they’re also forming meaningful bonds with the world around them. These early connections can blossom into lifelong environmental stewardship. 🌍 hashtag#GeniusofPlay hashtag#EarthDay hashtag#NaturePlay hashtag#PlayMatters @GeniusofPlay @TheToyAssociation

🎲✨ Pediatric OT isn’t about fixing children, it’s about unlocking potential. At Play To Do, we live at the intersection of child development, play, and play-product design and we know that pediatric occupational therapists bring something powerful to the table: a deep understanding of how kids engage, move, regulate, and connect. Whether it’s designing a toy that encourages turn-taking, creating a game that builds fine motor skills, or making sure play experiences are inclusive for all learners, OTs help make play more purposeful and accessible. This OT Month, we’re celebrating OTs not just in the therapy room, but as essential partners in product innovation, play-based learning, and inclusive design. 🧠 Want to build better play experiences for all children? Start by asking an OT. 💭 Tag a pediatric OT or product team who inspires you and let’s keep elevating awareness of what OT brings to the future of play. #OTMonth #PediatricOT #PlayToDo #ChildDevelopmentExperts #InclusiveDesign #OccupationalTherapy #ToyDesign #GameInnovation #PlayBasedLearning #DesignForNeurodiversity #EmpoweredThroughPlay #AOTA

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’m always thinking about how toys can support development and spark genuine fun. I am inspired this season to build thoughtful, engaging seasonal baskets for kids of all ages. Whether you're prepping for Easter 🐰 or simply creating a spring surprise to delight and connect with the children in your life, consider including: 🧠 Toys that invite imagination and pretend play 🖐️ Tactile and sensory-friendly items (think soft textures, squeezables, or calming putty) 🧩 Open-ended materials that grow with a child’s creativity and age 📚 A cozy book or two that nurtures connection and communication 💖 And always...something that brings a smile just because Inclusive, meaningful, and full of possibilities...that’s how I like to build a basket. #PediatricOT #PlayToDo #ToyTherapy #GeniusofPlay #ChildDevelopment @geniusofplay #InclusivePlay #PowerofPlay #SpringBaskets
