Plastic Plate Sensory Exploration

Do you have some left over plastic plates from a BBQ, picnic, or special occasion?  Why not put them to good use and create a sensory wall activity for your child with special needs to explore?  Make each plate it's very own sensory experience by using various textures glued onto the plates.  You can glue beds, corn kernels, rice, pasta, soft sand-paper, wool, faux fur, wooden sticks, bubble wrap, marbles, yarn, carpet, pieces, aluminum foil, craft pom poms, or whatever you desire.  Once the plates are dry you can glue them to a large piece of heavy corrugated poster-board, plaster paneling, or even suction cup/velcro them to plexiglass so you can change up the order.  Add magnets to the back and use them on your refrigerator, perfect reach for a toddler or seated child.
