This blogger found a way to reuse broken crayons and empty glue stix. I bet we could also use empty deodorant stix (wash 'em real well, please) for the same result, just wider. If students with poor muscle control cannot hold these stix independently, we can attach a type of universal cuff or use Coban (alert--usually contains latex) to help the student maintain a secure grasp while coloring.
Recycled crayons and glue stix
Welcome to a spot to share ideas for working with students in exceptional education in public schools. Please describe activities you've successfully used with students to improve fine motor and self-help skills. Creative classroom adaptations for sensory-based and ergonomic needs are sought. Technology applications, low and high tech, are appreciated. Above all--be positive and professional in sharing your experiences and ideas. Thanks.
