For under $35 today I was able to put together several Work Task boxes for prevocational training. You gotta love the Dollar Store (our local ones are all Dollar Trees).- Travel Shoe Shine kit packaging - Purchased 10 travel shoe shine kits for $1.00 each, which contain one shoe brush, one shoe horn, one soft cloth, two tubs shoe polish in a clear, zippered bag. Made jig by tracing the shape of each object and the zipper bag large 11x18" piece of craft
foam and cutting out the outline, then glueing craft foam with object silhouettes cut out onto a whole piece of craft foam (making a "cut out" puzzle type of jig). Added picture symbol markings and instructions. - Make Up Brush Packaging - same basic instructions as travel shoe shine kits
- Sorting by color - purchased large package of plastic colored popsicle sticks and pack of (incidently mathcing) children's plastic cups. Used heavy duty (clean) cardboard personal size pizza box and cut out four cup holes (after tracing the BOTTOM of the cup onto the top of the box) to hold the four primary colors of cups (which match the sticks). Removed cups to gluy box shut and spray paint black, reinsert cups and have sorting fun.
