Ready for the holidays? If you haven’t completed your Christmas or Hanukkah shopping, there’s no need to panic. Enabling Devices will help you choose the perfect gifts and get them to you in the (Saint) Nick of time!

Not sure how to go about choosing a gift for that special someone? The Enabling Devices sales team is happy to help. We asked team members for their best advice on gift selection and here’s what they had to say.

1. Starting points

Before beginning the gift selection process, our sales staff recommends answering the following questions: What does the child enjoy doing? Does she like using her iPad? Is he a board-game lover? Perhaps she enjoys sensory stimulation. If purchasing a gift for a child who’s not well known to you, ask his parents what he might like. On a budget? Our new gift guide includes toys under $50.

2. Gifts to use with others

Bingo
#4051

Adapted board games mean that everyone can play. Enabling Devices has a wide selection of adapted games such as Hi Ho Cherry-O (#941), Tic Tac Toe (#949) and Bingo (#4051). Great for family game night, play dates and in the classroom. Game playing builds social skills, and provides practice with turn taking, listening and following directions.

3. New offerings

At Enabling Devices we are always coming up with new products and improving the ones we’ve already invented or adapted. This holiday season we’re proud to bring you the following new items:

Orange beaver toy with green tail.
#3211

Boppin’ Beaver (#3211) introduces shapes, colors and the numbers 1-10 through 25+ songs, sounds and phrases! Press his head and he lights up, swishes his tail and sings. Or use an external capability switch to control the music and lights. Each touch of his head or switch changes the song.

The Portable Light-Up Sand Table  (#3222) is a wonderful sensory toy. Fill with the included sand and experiment with moving it around with a brush or fingers. It can also be filled with water or used along as a light box.

An old favorite has now returned! The Adapted Musical Crystal Ball (#1690) mesmerizes! Activate your switch and the dome rotates and projects a moving kaleidoscope of colorful shapes while soothing music plays. It’s a terrific addition to your sensory space.

4. Toys for children with visual impairment

The Tail Light Switch, Say it Play It (#464) is highly recommended by the sales staff. This toy is brightly colored, has great texture, vibrates and plays a 20-second message of your choosing. It can also be used as a switch for all your switch-adapted devices.
