TRACK 8 - "Natalie" by Tomato Collection Songs
Natalie is full of imagination. What
wonderful thoughts our little girls must
have too!
Speech/communication:
Cut out all sorts of crazy pictures from
a magazine and make them into
cards. Each time your child touches a
card add it to a dream pile (or place
inside an image of a cloud on
posterboard). After there are three or
four items chosen, make up a crazy
dream story that includes all of the
images your child chose.
Occupational therapy:
Work on finger isolation with whipped
cream on a large plastic surface
(preferably a dark color for good
contrast). Make cloud shapes and
stars and the moon.
Sensory:
Collect all kinds of different pillows: big,
little, soft, hard, square, round,
smooth, bumpy, etc. Make a big pile on
the floor and have fun rolling around in
a sea of pillows!
Physical therapy:
Try a pillow fight while you are in the
pillow pile! Great arm strengthening
exercise for trying to lift a pillow! Highly
motivating exercise if siblings or friends
are in on the fun, too!
Another idea: Pick out some actions
from the song or from the dreams you
made up and act them out. Stretch out
arms as you "fly to Hawaii", or "walk to
outerspace."
