Oral Motor Ideas

The oral motor exercises listed below can offer additional opportunities for
strength and coordination of oral motor skills, as well as heavy work
proprioception through the mouth, making a calming heavy work activity
that can be used in sensory diets to help children achieve a calm and ready
state of regulation.
Remember that not all these exercises are needed for every child’s specific
needs. Pick and choose the exercises that meet the needs of the child.

Blowing
• Bubbles - Use a mixture of washing up liquid and water in
a basin and blow into the water with a straw creating lots
of bubbles.
• Blowing bubbles large or small
• Blow windmills or dandelions

• Using a straw blow cotton wool or rolled up paper across a table or the
floor. Make goals to blow the object through or mark out a maze with
tape.
Use different sized straws; wider straws need less work than thinner
straws, so start with the wider ones and slowly increase the challenge.
