go on clearance racks everywhere. When out shopping be sure to pick up Pool Noodles which can be used countless ways for children with special needs.
Pool noodles can be used as (or for):
- Positioning rolls (cut to size)
- Slipped under fitted sheets to prevent a child from rolling out of bed
- Cut into discs for large game pieces
- Cut into discs and thrown into a drained/dry child-size swimming pool for a "ball pit"
- Cut into discs of varying size and thrown into a storage bin for a sensory activity
- Physical therapy exercises (lift above head, pick up, put down, wave back and forth...)
- Split in half lengthwise to place over sharp edges on dressers, tables, etc.
- Cut into varying sizes using various colors to use as a sorting activity
