Pringles-can Tri-Pod Display

Return to Homemade AT page

Pringles Torengos (the potato chips) come in a triangular shaped can.

After eating the chips…

  • clean the can,
  • take the label off
  • Cut a piece of self-stick felt(available at Michaels) to cover the outside of the can.

OR

  • Cut a piece of Tempo Loop (car liner material) that fits around the can
  • Use a hot-glue gun to adhere the material to the can

You now have a communication device or choice board.

Attach 2" Communication symbols(made with Boardmaker software)with the Velcro (male side - scratchy) on the back of the picturesand they will stick to the can. Because the can has 3 sides, you can have three sets of messages ready to view or choose from. The can has a lid and the symbols can be stored inside the can until ready to use. We are using this communication device in our literacy kitsas a matching activity or in the classroom to show a schedule or task sequence or just simply for a child's communication responses.
