LEGO sets are made for people of all ages and skills, making them some of the most beloved toys across different generations. The company has also made itself an example to follow in the realm of corporate responsibility, taking the lead in using sustainable materials to create its toys. The LEGO Braille Bricks embody those two facets of the company’s reputation by harnessing the power of the interactive toy to turn it into a playful tool that can help teach the blind and visually impaired. Each LEGO set focuses on pre-braille and braille activities that teach important skills like manipulation, orientation, and constellation along with the language itself.
The LEGO Braille Bricks are designed to help develop pre-braille skills and faculties like hand and finger strength, spacial awareness, and motor skills while capturing the imagination of visual impaired users so they can enjoy the toys like anyone else. Braille skills then go on to teach numeracy and literacy by teaching the language with the same playful and interactive immersion that only LEGO can offer.
