Practical Tips for Constructing

Take four sheets of stiff mounting cardboard, 30 x 30 cm square and join with 2cm tape allowing sufficient gap to fold the sides of the box flat.

Attach "circle of family and friends" worksheet; favourite object/s and favourite activities as printed out scans and/or photographs; and the 'feely box' scan of selected objects and favourite colours.

The fifth side of the box is the photograph/s of the young person miming their favourite activity against a white background, taken in class.   Transfer the picture from the camera to your computer.   You will then need to insert the picture/s into a word document.   First remember to change the page layout to landscape, insert the picture and make it roughly a third of the page height and position it at the bottom of the page.   Print out on to clear acetate sheet so that you can look through the sheet into the space behind.
