Occupational Therapy supports children in developing the skills they need for everyday activities at home and school. These skills include dressing, using cutlery, holding a pencil, managing fastenings, using tools and equipment, and developing the coordination needed for play and learning. Strong physical and self-care skills help children become more independent, confident, and successful in their daily lives.

Many occupational therapy activities can be incorporated into everyday routines and play experiences. The resources below provide practical ideas and strategies to support a range of developmental skills, including fine motor skills, gross motor skills, hand strength, coordination, independence, and sensory development.

These activities can be enjoyed by all children and are a great way to support their physical development while having fun together at home.
