Improving Core Strength: Activities Using Household Items

This video provides six activities for children using a laundry basket, and a few other common household items. Each activity provides a variety of developmental benefits. The main skills these activities target are core strength, upper-extremity strength, proximal stability (strong base), dynamic balance, motor planning, and hand-eye coordination. These activities are great to incorporate into therapy sessions, and/or for kiddos to play with siblings/caregivers. They are designed for children with varying abilities, and are easily modified to fit each child’s need.
