Hello Melissa,
There are number
of products on the market that allow you to create tactile sheets from a
standard printer. They are particularly useful for children & adults with
special needs (dyslexia, dyspraxia, motor skills
impairments etc).
Here are some
links about these types of product:

I seem to remember they do all sorts of
textiles - there is a mathematical bend to many of their things, but they will
be up for something bespoke. They are experienced at using their products with
children.
Hope this helps.

artist. She also has a strong background
in museum and gallery education (having
worked as the interpretation officer

Also the
of the children during a storytelling
session. The children come up at
various parts of the story to find the animals
hidden in the rug. The head
of Education at the Geffrye
'Alison Lightbown' developed the session and I'm
sure she would be a good person to talk to
about creating this sort of
resource:
All the best with your project!
