Tactile Journal Binder

Last week I created a new journal binder for a student with a visual disability. He told me his idea from the material we had on hand. I then hot glue gunned his lay out all down.

The binders must be very textural, visually appealing doesn't matter when creating these.

This was the previous journal binder...

 

 He was hungry for some spaghetti and meatballs....

So much fun to create these!!

 



Early Literacy/Sensory Activity

This activity was used in a child drop-in centre. I set it up so that the child could participate with minimal adult direction, depending on their age, of course.

The bin is filled with foam pieces and are mixed together with letters that have magnets on the back of them. So the children have the sensory experience of looking through the foam to find letters to stick to the small whiteboard.

The directions are for the guardian/parent to read to the child. Usually the child just enjoyed pushing the foam around to find the letters under it.
