Lego Braille Bricks
January is Braille Awareness Month in honor of Louis Braille’s birthday On January 4, 1809.
Danish toy company, Lego created Braille Bricks, as the newest addition to their many Legos kits. Braille Bricks work with all the other Legos kits. What’s really brilliant about this is the it offers kids with an interest in braille an opportunity to learn the alphabet in braille alongside their friends who might be braille readers and using the set because of the braille on the individual pieces–totally inclusive!
