Creativity Meets Communication
In celebration of National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we’ve introduced flower-themed arts and crafts projects that are not only adorable, but also thoughtfully designed to support our littlest patients' speech and language goals.
From painting petals to creating garden-themed vocabulary boards, our arts and crafts activities are here to promote communication skills. Why arts and crafts? Because for young children, creativity opens the door to connection. While painting or gluing, kids are also practicing sentence-building ("I need the blue flower!"), spatial concepts ("Put it under the leaf"), sequencing ("First I color, then I cut"), and social language ("Can I have a turn?"). These are real, meaningful moments of communication, and they stick.
Whether we’re helping a child say their first word or supporting language expansion through storytelling, creativity plays a powerful role in learning. So if you walk into our clinic this May and notice a few extra smudges of paint and glitter, we promise, it’s for a good cause…and might even be added to our Sound Art Gallery.
