Feel 'n Peel Sheets: Carousel of Textures II
$169.00
This kit gives you a set of sheets in different textures and colors that you can cut and stick onto other surfaces to make touch-friendly materials. People use sheets like these to build or adapt storybooks, maps, games, and art projects so a child can explore them by feel as well as by sight. It's an add-on to APH's first Carousel of Textures kit, so the two work well together if you want a wider range of textures. These are raw materials, not a finished lesson, so someone has to plan and make the tactile pieces.
