🌟 How to Give Kids (and Their Brains) a Break

Introduce Tech-Free Hours Start a “no screen after 6 PM” rule or implement device-free days. Trust me, the world won’t end if kids don’t touch a tablet for 24 hours. 🌞

DIY Learning Projects Help kids make something tangible! Whether it’s baking cookies, planting a garden, or building a LEGO masterpiece, hands-on projects encourage focus and creativity.

Bring Back the Magic of Books There’s nothing like the feel of a real book. Visit your local library and let kids pick out their favorites. 📖✨

Family Play Time Board games, puzzles, scavenger hunts—these build connections while keeping the screens off. Plus, they’re just plain fun! 🎲

Advocate for Balanced Tech Use in Schools Talk to teachers and school boards about prioritizing traditional teaching methods alongside tech tools. A blend of both is key!

As a teacher I am always looking for ways technology can help enhance my student’s learning experiences. However as a parent I always have to be cautious of my child’s screen time. That’s why I am happy to support @mochi_codingbear by @learnwithmochi Mochi offers children a tool that will help them develop computational skills without the need for a screen. What I love about Mochi is that the focus is on reading and storytelling rather than just coding.

Pom pom drop corresponding to each colour of bottle cap placed in front of each glass. We played this colour matching game using pom poms and bottle caps and had lot of fun as Aanshi loves to play with pom poms! 📍Materials required: any glass or plastic bowl/glass, bottle caps, pom poms and tongs. 📍How to play: I placed 5 different colored bottle caps in front of 5 small glasses. The task was to drop the pom poms in glasses of respective colors corresponding to each bottle cap using tongs. Well, we enjoyed this activity so much that these glasses had to be vacated repeatedly! 📍Benefits: This color sorting activity has multiple benefits. 🔖Visual discrimination 🔖Fine motor skills development 🔖Sensory development 🔖Increased concentration 🔖Cognitive development #learnwithaanshi #learningcolours #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #learningthroughplay #learningthroughplayeveryday #visualdiscrimination #screenfreekids #toddlerplayideas #pompomdrop #colorsorting #coloursortingactivity #preschooleractivities #preschoolathome #homeschoolingpreschoolers #sensoryplay #homeschoolfun #learnandplay #toddlerlearning #invitationtoplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWy884M-9G/?igshid=180qnxintx192

Back when my younger son was doing occupational and speech therapy, our therapists would bring one of these marker free pads out for exploring. I remember Ev enjoyed them so much. A little scribble here and an erase there, then start again. It has been 2 years since therapy was a thing here and now I just get to see everyone using them for fun. It’s amazing to see the progress from little to kiddo. Each one is showing their creativity, in their own way. It might have gone unnoticed if I didn’t stop to really appreciate it. And then subsequently take a pic to remember. It was just so quiet. There was. soft chatter but it wasn’t competitive, just drawing and exploring. Together. #honestandunbiasedblog #homeschool #school2020 #ot #pt #speech #stillness #screenfreekids #siblings #creativekids #noscreen https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYp2HLJYAR/?igshid=1kdj5g8j2w38e

So, many if not most of you are aware by now that I am disabled. What you may not be aware of is that due to my disability/chronic illness, I am often homebound. Because of this, I've become a bit of an expert at accessing children's book resources without ever leaving home, of necessity! In fact, with the exception of those books in my personal collection, or a handful that have been sent to me as review copies by publishers, the VAST MAJORITY of books that you see reviewed by @noodlenutskidsbooks and @noodlenuts_classics are those which I've taken out of the library or other sources as e-books! While I know that #screenfreekids is often the goal, with so many people practising social isolating for now and trying to avoid Petri dishes like the public library, but stuck home with kids you don't just want to dump in front of the television, it's a great time to explore the free resources at your fingertips if you have a library card and an Internet connection. Check out the post for some suggestions of what to look for! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #libraryresources #digitallibrary #ebooksforkids #stuckathome #learningresources #parentingwin #socialdistancing #tumblebooks #overdrive #libby #boredombuster #readaloud #bookvideo #parentinghacks #mumlife #homelibrary #homeschoollife #homeschooling #librarylove #library https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ueDF0n1zk/?igshid=13zh1qj9hwns4

#ad. Thank you @woojrkids for the amazing kids activity books! These books have been my lifeline this week as we’ve juggled tech and dress rehearsals for kid 2 for A Christmas Carol and the distraction of Thanksgiving prep. The Big Brain Teasers Book has been a go to for my 11 year old son, to keep himself busy during down time at 11 hours of tech and dress rehearsals. While the Animal Drawing book has been a favorite for my 8 year old daughter and all of her friends at dance. I’ve added these #childhood unplugged books to our holiday gift list. I love providing the kids with opportunities to learn while also having fun. The Woo! Jr. Kids' Activities website has provided free craft ideas, printables, recipes & teacher resources to over 50 million visitors since 2008. Elementary education teachers, day care professionals and homeschooling parents have come to rely on Woo! Jr. for high quality, engaging, creative and educational content that children love. Their best-selling kids activity books have sold over 100,000 copies worldwide! Make sure to check them out on Amazon and add these books to your holiday wish list. #holidaygiftguide #kidsshopping #homeschool #homeschoolresources #teachingkids #screenfreekids (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VQSmghMeN/?igshid=19cfd1gbobw22
