Sticker Books

Sticker books are a great way for kids to take some time on their own and do a fun activity. Our kids are with adults one on one for most of the day (if we’re lucky enough to get those kinds of services for them). Often, they need to transition from person to person throughout their day at school. When they get home, I think they need a little time to be on their own (supervised, but not directed).

Mikey loved these sticker books. The skill set is basically to match the sticker to the shape of the sticker which is colored on the page. Mikey liked to read the book and the labels, but reading isn’t necessary for these books.

These were comforting for Mikey because the book showed him where to put each sticker. For a more advanced activity, some sticker books are academically focused. There are also lots of sticker books or pages where kids can be more creative and choose where to put each one. They can make their own scene while practicing their peeling and pinching (their Occupational Therapists will be very happy).
