Fun with toy cars

In therapy, the Speech therapist, Denise, and I supported our ID students during art class.  This gave us an opportunity for hand use, tool use, as well as targeting different concepts, words, and activities for Speech to work on.  The art teacher we work with has a lot of great ideas and materials and really incorporates the needs and abilities of our students.  This activity we did with our students about a week ago was really different and the kids seemed to enjoy the various elements.

for this activity we used the maroon device shown above and put strips of paper in it.  The students had to twist the crank on the side (most our students in this population (ID) required hand over hand assistance) to make the paper the design on the device......so cool, and the art teacher had several different patterns!!  :) 

Next, the art teacher had several toy cars or trucks that the students used to roll in a black stamp pad and then rolled it on the paper to make tire tracks. 

finished project  :)
