1 month ago by grandparent green	Can anyone tell me where I can buy special needs toys for my Grandson who is 16 and has learning disabilities ? Thank you.
1 month ago by Willow	Google special needs catalogues. I bought most of my equipment from The Magic Planet ((TFH). However, check out your local pound shops, I buy loads in there,especially tactile resources. My latest is a microfibre cleaning mitt. I use it like a hand puppet and it glows in my UV light.

Use a digital camera to make your own cards for this game. you can photograph your own matching pairs ie your dog, your home, family, etc You'll need two of each.
Blue tack

Carry a small piece of Blue tack or similar for your child to play with if they are fidgety and need to touch and play with something. They can make little men and characters or just roll it in their fingers.
Sensory flour games

I mix cornflour and water together and it makes a great sensory play tool. Also put flour into a plastic bag and seal it with some food colouring. As it gets squished round it will change colour.
