Professional guidance helps A family member can open this kit and start building animals right away, so no professional is needed to use it. The kit works best with expert help, though. A teacher of students with visual impairments can match the pieces and overlays to the student's vision and fit the lessons to the student's learning goals. That guidance is what makes the kit pay off for a child with low vision or CVI.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Animal Recipes: Farm Set is a hands-on learning kit that teaches students how to tell farm animals apart by their key features, which the kit calls "salient features." Students build seven animals: a cow, sheep, horse, goat, pig, goose, and rooster. Each one uses translucent 3D puzzle pieces for the face, plus print and tactile overlays for the body, and the kit includes a realistic full-body plastic toy of each animal to compare against. It's designed for elementary students with low vision or CVI (cortical visual impairment), and it works best when a teacher or vision professional guides the lessons.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Open the kit and lay out the plastic animal toys, 3D face puzzle pieces, body overlays, and name labels so the student can explore them.
  • With a guide
    1. Look over the pieces for each animal and decide which one to start with, such as the pig or the cow.
    2. Plan short lessons where the student builds one animal at a time and compares it with the matching plastic toy. Plan about 20-30 minutes to get familiar with the materials.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or vision specialist can choose the print or tactile overlays that fit the student's vision and plan how the kit fits into their learning goals. Allow a short planning session before starting.
