Lego Braille Bricks help blind and low-vision children "play and learn just like every other child," said mom Lisa Taylor.At first, Olivia struggled with braille. Then the 7-year-old, who is blind, played with Legos with braille on them and her interest soared.
Lego announced it is offering braille bricks for the public to purchase starting Sept. 1. The first sets will be available in English and French with Italian, German and Spanish language versions coming in early 2024. The set retails for $89.99.The"Lego Braille Bricks — Play with Braille" set comes with 287 pieces that are “fully compatible with other Lego products and the studs on each brick are arranged to correspond to the numbers and letters in the braille system.
“For blind and partially sighted children, and adults for that matter, it makes all the difference if they can share their journey of learning braille with the people they love the most,” Martine Abel-Williamson, president of the World Blind Union, said in the press release.
