5 Helpful Adaptive Tools You Need For Your Art Room

There are so many adaptive art tools out there—it can be hard to know what’s worth it for your art students and what you need to purchase for your supply closet. Watch to the end for five helpful tools, including why you’ll want them and how to use them. 

1. Quick dry water painting boards encourage students to practice painting and markmaking without the pressure of perfectionism. 
2. Life-like rubber fish, originally used for printing plates, are great for students who need a tactile element in the artmaking process. 
3. A color wheel spinner app assists students who get overwhelmed with making color decisions. 
4. Chewies prevent students from nibbling on your art supplies. 
5. Using a spirograph or paint spinner with a “big red button” is an inclusive artmaking opportunity for students with limited movement.
