MiniBlock Braille (English) Alphabet with Numbers

cults3d

MiniBlocks are designed to be small DUPLO-compatible blocks for children. I offer a variety of sets that are designed to promote a mixture of the following skills: dexterity, learning (e.g., alphabet), problem solving and spatial awareness (e.g., MiniBlock Puzzles), and others. This set is a collection of all 26 English alphabet Braille letters and all 10 numerical characters that can be used to form words and numbers on any DUPLO (or compatible) block or plate. Since Braille characters are formed in a vertical rectangular space, it's important that all letters/numbers printed on the sides of the block be oriented to the bottom and right. This gives the proper orientation to the characters themselves. Disclaimer: I am not visually impaired and have no practical experience with Braille. I've simply scaled scaled the standard dimensions of a Braille character to match the standard size and spacing of DUPLO blocks (i.e., 16 mm x 16 mm cells). Note that initially, each block is a little tight-fitting. This is by design. They quickly loosen up with use.
