Pre-Braille activities
There are many activities you can try with your child, to help them when they start to learn Braille.
Here are some ideas below, but you can find a really good list of activities on the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired website.
Squeezing toys
Stringing beads
Drawing
Twisting lids on and off
Buttoning up clothes
Picking up small items
Playing a musical instrument
Mixing food in a bowl
Turning doorknobs
These activities are great for children to do as they prepare to use Braille.
