Lunch Bunch and Bundle – Pilot Session – MERRIAM CLINIC

At PossAbilities we strive to find creative ways for kids to develop new skills as well as support parents and make daily life easier for families. This fall we are excited to announce a new therapy group. Lunch Bunch and Bundle is designed to “check those boxes” and also give an opportunity to build social skills. Our project is to put together a week’s worth of school lunches. Your child will prepare, package and take home a healthy “bundle” that they can then place in their bento or lunch box each day to have at school. During this process we will use kitchen tools, build fine motor skills, work on planning ahead, develop executive functioning and probably get a little messy. Come try it out, give us your feedback and get a discount for additional sessions.
