๐FINGER STICKERS ๐ ๐ They are in every Stage 3 knife & fork box, designed to help with the first few uses. Some kids love them, some donโt use them at all (some stick them elsewhere...๐๐) ๐ The idea behind them is if you set up your child with the stickers on their nails and top of the ๐ด, they will immediately see how to use the cutlery with no guidance needed. Independent learning = the best learning ๐ ๐ They are not super sticky - you need to hold them onto their nails for a few seconds to get them to stick. This is because we use a food safe paper and glue. Theyโre not meant to be eaten ๐ but we thought it was a good idea anywayโฆ #schoolready #schoolstarter #independence #startingschool #stage3 #nanastribe #receptionstarter #schoollunches #independenteating #childhooddevelopment #kidseating #motorskillsdevelopment #confidence #finemotorskills #nanasmanners #eatlearnandgrow #OTapproved #foodsafe #fingerstickers #independentlearning #learningessentials #mealtimeessentials

Laura said โ I found the training really informative from an OT perspective and I love the idea of a bank of OT approved activities to add into my own practiceโ Laura already runs beautiful Tree babies sessions but wanted to develop her learning further into Play and development in Nature for those older babies and toddlers. In fact this training is for up to children aged 5 and beyond! Laura has a beautiful outdoor venue she plans to deliver her new classes from and I canโt wait to see how she infuses all her knowledge and experience together with this training.

๐ฃ Introducing ourselves for 2024! ๐ฉต Weโre Kathryn & Chris, husband & wife team, founding Nanaโs Manners after seeing the need in a busy market to give children the tools they need to succeed in becoming confident & independent at mealtimes. As a Primary teacher, Kathryn saw young children struggling to eat independently with the straight basic cutlery they were given. Children were given shaped pencils when learning to write, supportive scissors, yet there was no cutlery that supported their grip development and helped them develop their confidence at mealtimes. The journey of product development began and a few years later our first product launched, our unique knife and fork set ๐ดThis is still the product we are most known for, though weโve gone on to develop ranges for babies (Stage 1โค๏ธ) toddlers (Stage 2๐) and pre-schoolers (Stage 3๐). We launched on BBCโs Dragonโs Den - an experience that was as amazing as it was terrifying! They loved it! ๐ You can still find the clip on Dragonโs Den YouTube ๐ฅ Every product at Nanaโs Manners is designed by us with babies, toddlers & childrenโs needs at the forefront. Thatโs why our products are used in nurseries, schools and by the NHS ๐ The favourite part of our day is hearing the feedback from you and seeing your little ones really enjoy their mealtimes with the new found freedom our products bring ๐ฅฐ This photo was taken at our first trade show ๐ #familybusiness #nanasmanners #supportingchilddevelopment #businessjourney #smallbusiness #childrensproducts #childrenscutlery #dragonsden #touckertime #businessbuilding #ergonomiccutlery #childdevelopment #otapproved #behindthescenes #introducingourselves

Thatโs because before Christmas I was in creation mode, ready for 2024 to share our TEN DOTS content. Sensory sparks are coming your way! So if you are looking for extra CPD training for 2024. Get ready toโฆ.. Take out the guesswork. Spend less time lesson planning and more time connecting with your swim families. Get ready in JANUARY to access expert schemes of work. Our Aqua Sensory developmental handbook is carefully researched, to create engaging lessons with swim activity ideas that build progression in the pool, foster strong relationships and develops an holistic approach to learning to that that develops the WHOLE child. #childdevelopment #otapproved #holisticlearningapproach #wholechilddevelopment #eyfsinspiration #swimmingtime #aquaticeducationspecialist #sensoryintegration

Snow Angels โ๏ธ Developmental Aqua Sensory swim play! Itโs perfect in every way. Start with our snow angel song with your baby swimmers, advance to star floating with your toddlers, stretch swim skills with your early years children to create early independence, and water confidence. โ๏ธ Floating is not only fun, but is a vital water safety skill too. โ๏ธ Step 1. Start in the traditional STAR FLOAT position. โ๏ธ Step 2. Try a coordinated move- arms and legs SLOWLY moving together. โ๏ธ Step 3. Can they move the arms together and clap in midline? This alters the centre of balance, aids coordination, CROSSES THE MIDLINE works both sides of the brain in this bilateral movement. Go SLOW and intentional to create rhythm. ๐ต โ๏ธ Step 4. Can they move the arms above the head? This alters the centre of balance, is challenging and can aid reflex integration. โ๏ธ Step 5. Sequencing can be fun to add in more developmental movement. Note that when the ears are under the water, the child wonโt be able to hear well, so provide each movement as a demo first. Move just the arms together. Move just the legs together. Move just the right arm and leg. Move just the left arm and leg. Move opposites arm and leg, one at a time. Move right arm, right leg, left leg, left arm and round you go again. Flap your wings little snow angels! Soon youโll be flying high in your swim skills. Use swim aids, or a grown up if needed for more assistance. Found this little developmental swim move useful? Why not tag in another swim parent or friend. Like, comment and share for more ideas. Add a little โ๏ธ BELOW For our 3 STEPS to SWIM SUCCESS- progression STEPS. Itโs our gift to you. ๐ #crossingthemidline #christmasswimming #aquasensory #childdevelopment #babyswimming #infantaquatics #otapproved #developmentalplay #watersafety

I saw a young patient a few weeks ago who had a zip inserted on the side of his shorts so that he would be able to dress his pants independently over the Ex-Fix secured on his right Tibia. This ensured that he was independent in all his daily occupations. #OTapproved #adaptationstation #occupationaltherapy #orthopedics #rehabilitation
Dive into the world of vestibular engagement with these dynamic activities! From back-and-forth to diagonal, side-to-side, rotary, and vertical movements, discover the diverse types of vestibular input. ๐ซ A note of caution: Vestibular play, especially rotary, is powerful input that should be monitored for negative reactions. Negative reactions can occur up to 6-8 hours after vestibular input. Children may also have difficulty gauging how much is too much - so observation and monitoring is key. Signs of potential vestibular overload include sweaty palms, dizziness, dilated pupils, respiration change, pallor or disorientation. . . . . . . . #vestibularplay #sensoryengagement #childdevelopment #playwithpurpose #otapproved #dynamicactivities #vestibularinput #rotaryplay #sensoryplayideas #sensorylearning #sensoryexperiences #learningthroughplay #parentinginsights #sensorydevelopment #sensoryexploration #playfullearning #childcaretips #healthyplaytime #childhoodwellness #balancedplay #vestibularactivities #ottips #pediatricotlife

๐FINGER STICKERS ๐ ๐ They are in every Stage 3 cutlery pack, designed to help with the first few uses. Some kids love them, some donโt use them at all. ๐ The idea behind them is if you set up your child with the stickers on their nails and top of the ๐ด, they will immediately see how to use the cutlery with no guidance needed. Independent learning = the best learning ๐ ๐ They are not super sticky - you need to hold them onto their nails for a few seconds to get them to stick. This is because we use a food safe paper and glue.

Quick reminder: Many schools offer the chance to have school lunches some days of the week and packed lunches others, with menus often available to see in advance. Now weโre a few weeks in and your child is familiar with other parts of the school day, now could be the time to revisit this if you did not opt for school lunches at the start of term. Most schools will need some notice but the switch is possible. Thereโs loads of pros to choosing a school lunch - worth a thought ๐ #schoolready #schoolstarter #independence #startingschool #stage3 #nanastribe #receptionstarter #schoollunches #independenteating #primaryschool #primaryschoolessentials #childhooddevelopment #kidseating #motorskillsdevelopment #confidence #finemotorskills #nanasmanners #eatlearnandgrow #OTapproved #schoolresource #infantschoolessentials #infantequipment #backatschool
