Today, I had a parent come by and ask me what kinds of things her child can do at home to entertain herself. Of course, being the teacher that I am, I showed her a lot of the things I have in the classroom, that ultimately helps me meet my students' educational goals. However, I do hope they're fun too.
Here are some of the things that I either have in the classroom or would recommend, depending on the child's age.
These you can find at:
with braille
You can find this at a lot of different toy stores. They have smaller versions for older students. It's basically magnets that kids can build with.
Keep that talking up! No right or wrong answers, but helps get you going when you get stuck for something to talk about (that's what the website says)
Textured (below)
Can have braille put on the shapes
Makes noise and is textured according to website
Braille can be placed on this, but it would be something to teach. You have to switch the play money out for real money to make it make more sense.
Has different textures for the animals
A stuffed dog with different textures
Magnets and shapes
Different types of latches. Should probably put something inside to motivate the child to open the latch, but good for teaching daily living skills.
