Manufacturing specifications

Batch production

Batch assembly

Evaluate and refine processes

Using knowledge of timber properties and processes, pupils will work together to design a batch of tactile toys. They will prepare a manufacturing plan and develop their knowledge of quality control, applying this to checks throughout manufacturing to produce the batch within acceptable tolerances.

Collaborative design: tactile toys to teach
