Looking for a fun way to include play and fine motor skills into learning and
practicing literacy skills with braille learners? Consider adding the LEGO® Braille
Bricks (https://www.legobraillebricks.com/) to your students' choice boards!
Recently the LEGO® Foundation, LEGO® Group and many partners from the
international blind and educational communities, have released LEGO® Braille
Bricks to the educational world! The LEGO® Foundation wants to make learning
through play more accessible for all children around the world. The bricks are a
colorful, functional and fun way to include tactile play into so many new learning
activities. Each brick looks similar to the standard bricks we are all familiar with
and even played with. However, the bricks include studs that correspond with a
letter or number in braille. The bricks also include a text version of the letter and
number on the bottom left front so students with visual impairments and those with
sight are able to share the experience of playing and using the bricks for literacy
