Butterfly Flapping
A video about friends of autistic children finding activities everyone can enjoy.
Watch the video together. Point out that Julia flaps her arms when she’s excited; Abby flaps her wings. Ask, “What do you do when you’re excited?”
Then make up your own game of pretend: Fly like an airplane, stomp like an elephant, and waddle like a penguin.
There are so many creative activities autistic children and their friends can engage in during playtime.
