Welcome

Welcome to Therapy Fun Zone.
Occupational and Physical Therapy should be fun for both the client and the therapist. We have to be creative and we are always thinking up new ideas to make it interesting and make our clients want to keep working. We also love to share our creativity and collaborate with each other. Here at Therapy Fun Zone, we would like to share activity ideas, and encourage you to share yours in order to keep the creativity stimulated. Sign up for our email which will include therapy activities, and other things that we think may be of interest. We are adding new activities and references frequently.
See you in the zone.
Check out the Shop page where you can buy some therapy activities that were created by me, including Pencil Adventures and Road Writing.

Angry Birds Toss Game
Throwing bean bags into a container is great for visual motor control, and even better when you have to aim at a specific target, such as toss across or similar game.
