Sticky Tray
So for our class my group with Michelle and Adele needed to invent a low tech device from materials found at the dollar store. We invented a tray that we would attach items to using suction cups. These suction cups were two way cups. We used one plastic tray, package of suction cups, plastic bowl, and a book. This was all purchased for under $10.00.
This tray would be good for students with fine or gross motor difficulties as it would allow them to access items without worrying about them falling off the tray. On our tray we stuck a bowl and a book. The bowl would be great for of course eating but would be good for holding an assortment of materials that a student might want to keep track of. We also put a book which allow for easier page turning. My four year old son was able to turn the pages with ease.You could only stick items with a shiny or plastic backing. We tried to stick a puzzle but the cups do not stick to paper. Here are a few pics of our invention!
