When Griffin was in kindergarten, they still had nap time for the first half of the year. For a kid with ADHD, this was problematic to say the least. His brain was too busy thinking to fall asleep. He would talk or make noise by crashing into the legs of the desks. We tried to help by sending books to keep him quiet. Pop-up books were especially good for this.
I added a pocket to his nap mat (they used towels that year) so that he would always have a book with him and it wouldn't get lost. We made the pocket out of an old t-shirt, probably one that was a hand-me-down from his Uncle Michael. I think Griffin helped with the sewing. He has always liked machines, and the sewing machine was no exception. This idea could also be used to add zippered pockets or a pillow to the end of a towel, for example at the beach.
