What an inventive group we have here! I am super impressed with the uses that people have come up with for various items at the Dollar Store.
Corbin's spoon modification helps students with fine motor control to be more independent while eating. He included a strap to prevent dropping, a thickened handle to help grip, and raised edges to prevent food from dropping off the edges. I like all the detail that Corbin put into his invention.
Mark and Maggie created a 'sensory wand'. This modified bubble wand has sparkles and other objects floating in a liquid. Students can wave the wand and watch the light reflect back. They were thinking of safety first when they chose regular water, instead of oil to fill the tube. Hot glue was their friend in sealing the container.
Cailyn and Heather created a small sign that a student can use message the teacher. The student can use sponge letters and Velcro to post an image, or send a message to the teacher.
It was very interesting learning about all the different uses of everyday found objects that can be repurposed in numerous ways. Trips to the store will never be the same.
