MINI BUDGET BALL PIT

MINI BUDGET BALL PIT

This Mini Budget Ball Pitt uses four thick mat panels, with gymnastic-quality, closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam. The mat panels securely attach to each other using Velcro. The floor base attaches by Velcro to the bottom of all four sides of the walls, keeping the ball pit balls within the pit. The floor allows you to slide the ball pit around the room with balls inside without the worry of any balls escaping from under the walls. The ball pit recommends 1,000 multi-colored balls to provide a good base for play and/or therapy. The 3 1/8 inch diameter balls are purchased separately; balls are not included. For care, wash surface with a soft cloth and mild liquid soap and water. For disinfecting, use up to ¼ cup household bleach diluted in one gallon of water, and rinse thoroughly with a wet cloth to remove bleach concentration.

I CAN DO IT! MY DAILY CHECKLIST

I CAN DO IT! MY DAILY CHECKLIST

I Can Do It! My Daily Checklist is a chart that parents can use to help their child with autism keep track of their morning, afternoon, and evening responsibilities. This chart allows the parent to list up to five tasks for each time of the day. When the child completes a task, they place a star next to the task in the "I did it" column. The bottom of the chart has a box for each day of the week – where the parent can write-in how many stars the child earned that day, and a Goal box – where the parent can write or draw-in what the child is working for to keep them motivated. The plastic stars can be attached to the laminated chart using hook and loop coins. The set comes with 35 1.5-inch plastic activity squares that have a picture of the task and the name written beneath it (additional sets of themed activities are sold separately). The tasks on the activity squares include: Get Up on Time, Make Your Bed, Take a Shower, Take Your Medicine or Vitamin, Pack Your Lunch, Pack Your Backpack, Put on Your Shoes and Coat, Get to School on Time, Put Your Things Away, Reading Time, Water the Plants, Practice, Set the Table, Eat Your Veggies, Help With the Dishes, Do Your Homework, Put on Your PJ's, and 5 blank labels. The I Can Do It! set includes one laminated chart, 35 activity squares, 18 stars, and one dry erase marker.
