Hi there,

So much of a child’s day happens in the in-between moments:
-Waiting for the next activity.
-Finishing early.
-Lining up.
-Those awkward few minutes before it’s time to transition.

These moments often feel too short to “do anything meaningful” and they often end up getting filled with challenging behaviors, nagging reminders, and repeated redirection.

But what if we could make those small pockets of time into powerful skill-building opportunities?

Skill-Building Activities for Transition Times We recently shared a blog post focused on skill-building filler activities, simple ways to turn those extra minutes into purposeful play without adding prep or extending the day. These activities work because they meet kids where they are. Instead of expecting them to instantly switch gears, they use movement as a bridge to help bodies and brains reset. PLUS, they fill those awkward in-between moments with skill-building fun! ​👉 Read it here.​

Those extra moments don’t have to be wasted or stressful. With a small shift, they can become some of the most fun and impactful parts of the day!

When kids move with purpose, regulation and learning follow.
