The spoken lesson
"Where are your hands? Here they are, at the ends of your arms. Your hands can touch. Your hands can hold. Your hands can reach for a safe toy. Your hands can wave hello. Your hands can clap together. Open your hands. Close your hands. Caregiver, wave slowly so the child can watch. Now clap gently. Hands help us explore shapes, textures, and objects. We use gentle hands with people, animals, and delicate things. Touch, hold, wave, and clap. Your hands are busy learning every day." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use large hand images, slow motion, and no precision-based quiz. Make the page usable with one adult hand while holding a baby.
