The Top 5 Items For An Autism Preschooler

We have been prepping for pre-school behind the scenes. The truth is, I am a nervous anxious mama. Like all mom’s I am sure. However, I just don’t think my son is ready, so I decided to do some research and find somethings that can help Antonio get ready for preschool. These items help with the fine motor, gross motor, and even the letter and number recognition. They have been working wonderfully for us, and I know fellow mama’s could appreciate this!

Learning is fun with the right tools

Ever since Antonio has been diagnosed with autism I am constantly doing research and trying to find things to help with us. It is hard to get him to have fun and learn all at the same time. I mean learning shouldn’t be boring.. right? It shouldn’t have to be a chore and I shouldn’t to constantly think about activities to do with him to help him grow.

That is why I was so glad to find M is for Monster! It is the perfect thing that I needed for Antonio. Each month it covers different themes or topics. It covers letter recognition, fine motor skills, number recognition and so much more.

I love how everything I need is included in the box. I don’t have to be running around trying to find the crafts needed such as glue, markets, crayons, etc. IT IS ALL INCLUDED FOR ONE PRICE!! You can get these boxes monthly, or however often, but I really love having them monthly so that I don’t have to worry about it. One of the things most parents pride themselves in is making sure their little one is constantly learning and experiencing new things. But that takes time. Time most of us don’t have.It takes hours to plan out activities to do with your child to help them learn and have fun at the same. You have to go shopping for the supplies, always having to buy more than needed. And then you have to prepare and set up for the activities. Ugh. So exhausting.

How does this help with autism? Well just the simple fact that there are fine motor activities helps Antonio a lot. He loves the quiet ended stuff.. meaning the stuff that is simple and easy to do on his own. He can’t color on his own but anything that has cars is super fun!!! PLUS.. the best part is that he loves to read and you can get books included in your box!

Happy learning!

Bedtime activities that will have your kids saying ‘thank you’

“Your children are so polite and well behaved!” This is a statement every parent wants to hear! Without a doubt, we all want our children to be respectful; to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’; and to grow up to be competent teenagers and adults worth every “good citizenship” medal the world has to offer.

Unfortunately, children don’t just grow up being honest and gracious. These are character traits that must be purposely taught (and practiced) in order to be mastered. And while school focuses on teaching math, history, and science, it is at home where children learn to be thoughtful and well mannered, to show sympathy for friends, and to understand the meaning of community.

Our job as parents is to cultivate and teach positive character traits at home… every single day. But teaching life lessons to our kids doesn’t have to be burdensome nor undesirable.

Really… who wants to be that parent who’s always lecturing and nagging the kids about this type of stuff? We sure don’t! Instead, we’ve found an easier (and more gratifying) way to teach our children the personal skills they need, and have some fun while we’re at it: Bedtime activities games. That is why Koala Time is the best option for parents! 

Mini Board Games – There is something magical about board games. Starting with the set up of pawns, cards, and special components, there is always a feeling of adventure about a board game. Even after having played the same game before, there is always a new path, a different method, a unique ending. This is probably what makes board games such an excellent teaching tool! You can spark up conversations about decision-making, planning techniques, and even life strategies! All while your child is carefully listening and strategizing her next move.

Card Games – Card games are a great way to challenge thought-process and reasoning speed.   ‘Memory’ style games encourage children to think fast while recalling images and pictures. This is a skill parents can use to teach how to make connections or to encourage the appreciation of different points of views. Card games are useful with topics on emotions, character training, and making good choices.

Puzzles – From paper-and-pencil, to mechanical and 3D widgets, every puzzle requires the understanding and recognition of patterns, which reinforce problem-solving skills. Puzzles games are a great way to introduce conversation topics on creativity, communication, and perseverance.

We love this quote from Joseph Cornell: “Children understand and remember concepts best when they learn from direct personal experience” This is why we choose to teach character, work ethics, and relationships through “playthings” It works!

Their eyes light up and immediately their playful and learning senses are turned on when they hear “let’s play a game!” Of course our goal as parents is to nurture their development, guide their behaviors, and bring out the best in them along the way. But who said it had to be boring? Actually, it can be lots of fun!

We can instill character values and create memorable experiences for our children if we purposely incorporate playfulness and amusement into their lives. Kids are ready to play. Kids are ready to learn. It is up to us to embrace that opportunity and live out our parenthood to the fullest. Sharing fun bedtime activities is a great way to do just that. Have you tried playing games as part of your bedtime routine yet?
