Prize ideas for blind student??

Question

I need several ideas for cheap (dollar store) items that I can put in a prize box (used to reward students for positive behaviors) that are suitable for a blind student (4th grade).

Answer 1

Stuffed animals, magnet travel Tic-tac-toe games or Checkers games (these are usually tactile enough for blind kids to play), toy kazoos, whistles, or flutes, puffy stuckers, scented crayons, toy necklaces/bracelets/rings, cute hair clips/scrunchies, if sweets are allowed you could have some lollipops or mini candy bars, temporary tattoos (no reason a blind kid wouldn't enjoy wearing one and showing it off if you first tell him/her what it's of), little toy cars, scratch-and-sniff stickers, glow-in-the-dark stars that you can stick on walls and ceilings and such, yoyos, spinning tops, those rulers that roll up that are really popular with elementary school kids, water squirters, cheap plastic sunglasses (like the ones you find in party favor bags),  those mini toy skateboards, cute key chains, those little toys that clip on to backpacks, bubbles, a No Homework pass. There are tons of things you can put in that both blind and sighted alike would enjoy.

Answer 2

use the other senses - things that feel, smell, or sound good/interesting.  Koosh balls come to mind.

Answer 3

You want to find stimulable tactile toys.... I am not sure what toys are in the dollar store, but you can (I am sure) find some great finds.

I am not sure where you live... but if it was my studends.... I live in South Florida and beach season is about here with Spring Break around the corner... I would give them stuff that they can use at the beach and bring some sand so that they can feel the sand and give out beach pales and beach balls that float on the water.

Answer 4

Blind or not - all 4th graders love candy!!!!!

Answer 5

slinkys, slime, koosh balls, trophys, pin badges, keyrings, hats,

Make certificates (can be scented) with the writing in relief or braille
