Hands and Feet for the Etsy-Helen Keller Project

This is my battle plan for the Etsy Labs - Helen Keller School project to make hands and feet for the children to us as learning tools.

Details on the project can be found here

Step 1 Materials and Tools

Materials
Old Denim Jeans
Fabrics with Textures
Paper
Pencil
thread
Other textures that can be attached to hands or feet safely
(be aware of possible choke hazards ie small buttons)

Tools
Scissors
Sewing machine or Serger
pins


It is important if you decide to use fabric that the items are washable. This is why i chose to use denim as a backing

Textures and colours are also important.
The children can use thier tactile senses to feel the different textures on the hands making them useful learning tools.
People with sight impairments often have some sight and bright colours are visiable to some of the children atthe school.

Why are children using these? (lovely instructional though) Are they blind or challenged in other ways? How do they use these? Thank you!
