Get rid of all that Velcro! This is a unique holder designed specifically for the Jelly Bean and Buddy Button range of switches. The bottom of the holder keeps the switch in place on the desk or wheelchair tray by stopping it sliding around. There is a hole in its side so you can thread through the switch cable.
They are made from a washable floppy rubber and are available in 4 colours: blue, pink, green and yellow.
They can be purchased from QED.

Here are a few spooky switch ideas for you!
- Dress up your switch operated toys in Halloween costumes e.g. witch's hat, black cape etc.
- Then, make a simple (e.g. decorated cardboard box) 'Haunted House' for them to walk into, with spooky sound effects on a 'BigMack' or 'Step by Step' switch!
- Put a small switch adapted light inside a pumpkin and have your children turn on the spooky glow!
- Make 'witches brew' or 'yucky potions' using your PowerLink and blender!
- Use a PowerLink and fan to operate spooky wind chimes or blow dried leaves!
Have fun!
