Building Confidence Through Creative Play at OrbRom Center Phnom Penh

At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we know that children learn best when they’re engaged, happy, and empowered to express themselves. Activities like crafting paper ships may seem simple—but they’re packed with developmental benefits. This creative session highlights how play-based learning helps children build confidence, follow directions, and strengthen their fine motor and language skills.

Why Creative Play Matters
Creative tasks like arts and crafts support a wide range of developmental goals, especially for children with speech or developmental delays. Through activities like cutting, folding, and storytelling:

• Children develop fine motor control

• Improve their attention span and task completion

• Build vocabulary and follow multi-step instructions

Our therapists integrate these activities into therapy to make learning both functional and fun.

Crafting as Communication
While making paper ships, children are guided to describe what they’re doing, name the parts (“fold the corner,” “make a sail”), and make choices (“which color do you want?”). These moments spark spontaneous speech and teach turn-taking, making them ideal for speech and occupational therapy.

Individualized Support at OrbRom Center
At OrbRom Center, we tailor every session to meet each child’s needs. Whether your child is working on expressive language, attention and focus, or sensory integration, our therapists use hands-on activities to:

• Promote social interaction and communication

• Encourage sensory regulation through touch and movement

• Support executive functioning through structured play

We collaborate with families to reinforce these skills at home.
