Nub tips


These little "cord keepers" are a life saver. I had posted on my Facebook page several years ago about needing something for Bella. Another mama offered to send me something to help with cheerleading. These little things are a lifesaver. We've used them for a number of things. Initially it was for cheerleading, putting one around the pom pom and one around her wrist and having them looped through each other. (Was that super confusing?!)

We've always kept some at the house for just in case. We take them camping and have used them for jump roping too. It's always best to be prepared and have some ideas just in case.

Recently, based on our 504 plan, the PE teacher reached out about hockey being their next section. Through this section, Bella would need to be able to put both hands on the hockey stick in order to have the most control. She had Bella ask for more "velcro things" and we had a meeting scheduled.

When I met with her we talked about her idea of Bella using her prosthetic and using the velcro cord keepers to wrap around her prosthetic as well. This worked super well for hockey AND for jump roping! These things are a must if you have a prosthetic or if you don't. Talk about multitasking!

Here's an amazon link with them, I purchased them at Walmart in the sewing section (who would've thought!)
