Therapist Picks: A Holiday Gift Guide for Kids

At SuperNova Pediatric Therapy, we believe in the power of play to support a child's development and well-being. This holiday season, we've asked our therapists to share their top gift picks that encourage movement, creativity, and sensory exploration. These toys are not only fun but also offer therapeutic benefits for children of all ages and abilities.

Each toy on this list has been selected by our therapists for its ability to:

• Promote physical development: Encourage gross motor skills, fine motor skills, coordination, and balance.
• Stimulate sensory exploration: Engage different senses, including touch, sight, and sound.
• Enhance creativity and imagination: Spark imaginative play, problem-solving, and self-expression.
• Support regulation: Provide calming sensory input to help children manage their emotions and focus.
