Guest Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hello Does anyone have any tried and tested ideas for following instructions - preferably pictorial/written? Last week one of the children helped to put together a new stool. He enjoyed looking at the instructions and using the tools and was able to do this with a little support; I would like to develop this - I had thought about the cards which you can use with Popoids - but when I looked it was not really what I wanted. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 What was it particularly about the popoid instructions you did not like? We use various things like that also we use bee bots to follow a route, or some cooking with pictures of how many spoonfuls to make their own playdough - could you engage this child in making a Lego construction and write the 'blueprint' for him, then see if he can re- create it, make a treasure map for him to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The mobilo instruction cards are great for this, they show them how many of each piece/shape to find first, then easy to follow assembly instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 k-nex is really good too - they have photos of things to make and the children can check they have the right piece as they can place the piece on top of photo as it is the actual size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes ours love those, some do need a lot of imagination to see what it is though, or is it just me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony1985 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Baking a cake or making bread would be a good one. Do it yourself and take pictures of the process to use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your ideas everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
