The innovative “Happy CP Gloves” have been designed to bring joy to children with cerebral palsy by helping reduce strain and prevent injuries to fingers and wrists. The gloves fit hand circumferences of 9-18 cm, making them suitable for children aged 2-16 years. The set includes two gloves, a turtle doll that makes a sound when squeezed, and a chicken doll that lays soft eggs, along with an aluminum plate.  

The innovation has been successfully implemented, improving the quality of life for children with mental disabilities. The project received funding from the Tae Jai website, with a donation of 1,110,000 baht used to make 2,000 sets of gloves, which were delivered for free to children with disabilities throughout Thailand by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.
