Step aside regular Lego bricks, the game-changer has arrived - Lego Braille Bricks! For the first time ever, these ingenious toys are available to the general public. Designed for everyone over 6 years, these Braille bricks promise a playful, inclusive experience. Each set brims with 287 colored bricks, fully compatible with your existing Lego sets and two special baseplates. Pre-order starts August 24th, with English and French versions available from September 1st. More languages are coming next year. "For the blind community, Braille is not just literacy, it's our entry to independence and inclusion into this world, Lego Braille Bricks are a massive step forward to ensuring more children will want to learn Braille in the first place," says Martine Abel-Williamson, President of the World Blind Union. Let the games of learning begin!
