What are Braille Drawings?

Braille drawings are images consisting of raised dots. Blind people can explore them by touch.

The basis for our drawings is the braille code invented by Louis Braille in 19th century France. Instead of using them to write text, we arrange the dots to create tactile images.

On this website, you will find instructions to braille a horse, a bus, a guitar, a butterfly, a knight’s castle, and many others.

What are Braille Jumbles?

Braille jumble is a word-search game in which you have to find words hidden in a jumble of letters.

As with the braille drawings, we use the dots of the braille alphabet here too. You can create the game board using our instructions.

Each braille jumble has its own theme, such as mammals, musical instruments or cities.

Sighted visitors can also join in and learn something about braille along the way.
