Wipe away ink stains...
Rubbing alcohol wipes are a great way to remove permanent ink/markers from the surface of the skin without excess rubbing which can cause skin breakdown. Gently rub a saturated wipe over the stained area and viola...it disappears. You can use a combo baby wipe (pr paper towel) and hand sanitizer gel to get the same results!

Save those baby bottles!
Glass baby bottles have many uses
(even if you have never had a child who
drank from a bottle). Buy them and use them for home use such as mixing
up salad dressings, saving left over sauces/gravies, mixing up powdered
formula, making protein shakes or smoothies, etc. They are also a very
low cost solution to buying bottled water for tube flushes when you can just bottle up some tap water and take it on the go with you. Be sure to buy bottles with closed system caps to prevent spillage!

Gel Magic = Visual Magic
Dollar stores are great places to find toys and craft supplies to use for sensory projects. Next time you are in a dollar store be sure to look for gel magic window clings. Use them on a clear piece of plastic,
an empty plastic frame or a light box for both great tactile, targeting, and visual exercises. You can easily add them to ipad screens for extra tactile sensory experiences or to help target specific areas to touch.
