Electric Iron Safety Guard
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Avoid burning fingers while ironing
A person with visual or sensory impairments may use a hot electric iron without fear. Simply stick on a strip of hook-and-loop fastener, attach the safety guard, and proceed with ironing. The user may now place the free hand on the garment and run the guard along the hand. The free hand acts as a guide for the iron and is protected from the heat. Two contoured plastic rods surround the edges of the iron's sole plate. Metal parts are plastic-coated in a highly visible neon green. Weighs 8 oz. (227 gm). Shipping weight is 1 lb. Instructions included.

PLAY Tip
When is it good to be a creepy crawly?
To help children with low muscle tone or strength learn to creep, try putting them at the top of a gently slanting smooth board. Put an interesting toy like a Skwish, at the bottom and watch them go! A couple of hints for kids who are slow to get it:
Bare feet help.
You can place your palms at the soles of their feet to give them something to push off against.
If needed, flex their legs reciprically to help them learn the movement pattern.
