I found some transparent popsicle sticks on my own to add in with those and let the children be creative. They really enjoyed it. \r\n\r\nSo many times, students have specific directions about how to do something. One thing I really like about these sensory materials is that they can use their imaginations to build what they want. Encouraging imagination and creativity will help with the inventors of the future.

Each refrigerator had several small pretend food items and 5 baskets to sort and organize the food items. The students had to use their pincer grip to pick up the items, which exercised the muscles needed to hold a pencil. I had 3 students with each refrigerator, so they had to practice sharing and communicating with each other. \r\n\r\nThe IO blocks were used in a variety of ways. Some picked out the ones that looked like letters of the alphabet. Some built cars and robots. Some built magnifying glasses or bracelets.
