Why Our Tactile Colouring Books Are Great for Any Child

Ten tactile outlines with raised print letter stencils make our tactile colouring books a marvellous activity for friends; an unexpected leisure activity as well as a brilliant teachable moment.

So often, blind children feel excluded from this quintessentially social activity. So often pictures are completely unintelligible to family members and friends, however proudly a drawing might be hung on the refrigerator door! Now not only can a blind child participate fully, but with an extra flourish.

These spectacular designer colouring books are not to be found in just every dollar store! Nor can it be said of any other colouring book that the pictures are reusable!

The tactile colouring books have proven to be surprisingly effective for children with attention or cognitive disorders. Tactile reinforcement serves as a reminder of the borders for each picture; and sometimes adds one little ingredient necessary to bring about a successful outcome. We all know how important it is to tailor individual learning needs to the student, but every little helps!

The tactile colouring books we sell are perfect for blind children, but children with full sight enjoy the satisfaction of drawing a nice, neat picture, too.
