Did you know?

Creating art is a fun and engaging activity that provides children with a creative outlet. For those with physical or motor impairments, creating art can be a difficult task. But with adapted art supplies, everyone can participate!

The loan library has a wide selection of AT to support adapted art creation, including:

Color Bug

Remote control art! Create your own pictures with Color Bug by activating our light-touch directionality switch. Simply insert a color or marker, hit the switch, and the bug will move about, creating amazing patterns that are fun and unique. This item can promote the teaching of directionality and tracking skills while increasing visual attention and hand strength. Includes 4 color markers.

Adapted Art Kit

This adapted art kit contains a variety of adapted-grip art tools for painting, play doh, drawing and writing. It also includes 2 smocks in case art gets messy!

Switch Adapted Scissors

These easy-to-use switch-adapted scissors allow the user to participate in art in the classroom or home by pushing a switch to make the scissors cut. Just activate your switch and your scissors will easily cut through paper. It is easy to remove from its special mounting if necessary.

To browse the options, visit our loan library and choose the "Explore" option. Then choose "Edu Assistive Tech" and then "Adapted Art."
