Magic Mesh also has many uses for occupational
therapy
- Use Magic Mesh as a paper stabilizer
for handwriting on checks, notes and paper. It can be placed
horizontally or vertically on a variety of surfaces and
keeps hands and papers from slipping while writing.
- Outline spaces to practice how
and where to set a dining place setting.
- For large motor activities use
strips of Magic Mesh on the floor to create a bowling lane,
beanbag toss area (toss the orange bean bag on the orange
square, etc.), hopscotch, walking/jumping, or moving area.
 Place
on a beverage can, glass or bottle as a light grip
or to identify by color.
- It can be used as a light stabilizer,
with similar uses to other stabilizers like Dycem.
- Mark a glass door or window with a large
X in a bright color (red, lime-green, orange) for persons
with low vision or memory impairment.
- As textural stimulation without the unsightly
color contrast use mesh colors that blend in with objects/surroundings
to help guide those with low vision down a hallway,
stairway etc. Use any color mesh when color contrast is
or is not needed to help guide texturally in the dark or
in emergencies, or in games such as mazes.
- Map out an area on a small scale or onsite
to help with reorientation into a new living space
or to improve furniture and practical living and storage
spaces.
- For visual, textural and sensory stimulation
cut 1- to 2-foot strips for creative play. Clients can layer
the Magic Mesh to create various colors, place it around
their fingers, arms, legs; press it down and pull it up;
peel the mesh apart; and spend time experimenting in one
place or moving about the area.
