Do you think these could be used or adapted for a child with autism? It looks like each activity focuses on one skill which would be perfect if they are not too difficult or hard to manipulate.coffeeandconversationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-39563713391143970602009-05-26T07:29:03.000-04:002009-05-26T07:29:03.000-04:00Wow, Leslie, those look so fun!!

Someone (usually the organizer of the swap) purchases the book/ebook. In the book are very detailed instructions on running a swap! They really walk you through it step by step.<br><br><br>2. Look for participants. People interested in preK bags can be found in lots of places - friends with younger children, homeschool group, church, preschool, etc. You can ask your friends to pass the word if you want to get more involvement.<br><br><br>3. Once you have the participants set, you can start the swap. Each person in the swap will make one set of bags. One bag for each person in the swap. So if there are 15 people in the swap, you will make 15 of the same bags and then will get in return 15 different bags.<br><br><br>4. The book will walk you through setting deadlines, distributing the instructions and any other details. If follow the link in the post above, it should take you to the Preschool Activity Bag site. <br><br><br>I hope this helps. If you have more questions, please ask!<br><br><br>Blessings<br><br>LeslieLeslieNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-5272033993634099292010-08-14T08:54:39.000-04:002010-08-14T08:54:39.000-04:00I noticed some folks asking about doing this kind ...I noticed some folks asking about doing this kind of thing with Autistic kids. I have not done so, but I have done it with SPD (sensory processing disorder) kids and actually made bags this past year specific to sensory stuff.
