The bricks have been available to educational settings supporting visually impaired children since 2020 following a partnership between LEGO and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
They are now available to buy online for families to support children in learning braille.
The set, called Play with Braille, includes 287 bricks in five colours: white, yellow, green, red and blue with studs arranged to correspond to the numbers and letters in the braille system, with the printed version of the symbol or letter situated below the studs.
The bricks’ packaging is embossed with Braille which directs families to a series of resources on LEGO.com designed to teach players how to orient, attach and stack the bricks through games such as Rock, Paper, Scissors.
