Fat Man, Flat Man

Product features

The Fat Man, Flat Man pack is designed to help young children understand the relationship between real objects and tactile 2D representations of those objects on swell paper. Highly raised and less highly raised (fat and flat) thermoform images of the same objects provide the stepping stones between. The pack comprises: eight thermoform images (four fat, four flat) with printed colour underlays; four colour swell paper images; and a user guide in print. Each tactile image is labelled in large print and uncontracted braille (grade one).

Product details

The user guide includes a selection of fun activities using the man, dog, ball and frog pictures. For those unable to access the printed user guide, a contracted braille (grade two) user guide (TC21281) may be ordered separately. Through finding and matching games and handling the appropriate illustrations for the poems and stories, children will become familiar with the fact that three-dimensional objects can be shown in illustrations which are more like simple diagrams.
