we use regular and small Jaffa cakes and also those huge Smarties,regular Smarties and tiny M&Ms (although shelves mysteriously free of these at present)
Anyone else have some really great ideas/know about mini versions of branded goods?

Does it have to be food? Superdrug does lots of mini sizes of shampoo, body lotion etc.

moondog · 21/06/2007 16:28

Yes,they would be fun for work at a later stage of PECS!

Mini Oreo cookies. They come in a tub, versus the packet for the normal size.

Mini Coca Cola / Diet Coke cans (aeroplane size). You can get them here in Carrefour, don't know about the UK.

M&S do mini chocolate fingers, could use with Cadbury normal size?

Also M&S - mini chocolate rolls vs normal mini rolls?

gess · 21/06/2007 17:51

big small thomas tank engines. Will depend on the individual child's reinforcers though obviously.

silverfrog · 21/06/2007 17:52

And Cadbury buttons - can also get Giant Buttons...

gess · 21/06/2007 17:53

think sweets or non food are better than big things like biscuits or you'll only get one exchange before being stuffed!

Anna8888 · 21/06/2007 17:55

and extra-mini Cadbury buttons (in the cake decorating section of Waitrose)

Anna8888 · 21/06/2007 18:01

Barilla mini pasta - mini penne, mini fusilli etc.

moondog · 21/06/2007 18:04

Love the tiny button thing-perfect!
Forgot about them!

Yes, I know re large food items Gess!
(Although little boy I was working with today made so many requests for biscuits-bits of-that at one stage I thought he was going to asphyxiate on the crumbs!)
