In this unit, children learn how products eg slippers are designed for different purposes and people. They learn that designers must address a range of needs when designing slippers eg appearance, safety, warmth and size. Children learn about making accurate patterns/templates and detailed working drawings. They develop making and finishing skills to enhance the quality of their slippers. They learn to evaluate their products critically against design criteria and identify what to do to improve them.
This unit could be adapted to be broader to encompass 'footwear' or to focus on other textile products eg hats, soft toys, badges or wall hangings.
