Getting Ready for Christmas | Ages 6-8
A fun, festive therapy group for kids!
Get into the holiday spirit while building important skills! In this playful, Christmas-themed group, children will take part in hands-on activities such as decorating, crafting, practicing social skills and calming activities.
Through these meaningful and motivating holiday routines, therapists will support children in developing fine motor skills, sensory regulation through holiday-themed sensory play, communication and social interaction (sharing, turn-taking, conversation), and confidence and independence in real-life seasonal tasks.
Sign up for one week or all four!
Week 1—Christmas Countdown Craft
Children will connect and warm up with a quick sharing circle, followed by movement activities. Then we’ll create a Christmas countdown craft, reflect on what Christmas means to us, and finish with a “melting” cool-down.
Week 2—Letter to Santa
Children will connect and warm up with a quick sharing circle, followed by movement activities. Then we’ll write a letter to Santa and explore gratitude, finishing with a calming activity.
Week 3—Ornament Making
Children will connect and warm up with a quick sharing circle, followed by movement activities. Then we’ll make a Christmas ornament, reflect on patience, and finish with a “Christmas stretch.”
Week 4—Cookie Decorating
Children will connect and warm up with a quick sharing circle, followed by movement activities. Then we’ll decorate Christmas cookies, reflect on kindness, and finish with a fun activity.
This social group is perfect for children who benefit from structure, support, and a little extra practice to enjoy the excitement (and changes!) of the holiday season.
