Learning with Lego Braille Bricks

PICTURE DESCRIPTION Cartoon depiction of myself facing front with right arm thumbs up. Arm resting on a red Lego Braille Brick.

Right…

Who’s little one wants to play with Lego and learn Braille at the same time?

Lego is fantastic. I remember playing it myself when I was little and also when my lad was a tot. Although his Lego had come on since my day. He had trees and windows, etc. My windows were open gaps ☺

My local Sight Loss Group

This is the amazing Wakefield District Sight Aid.

My local group that I’ve been part of for nearly a year now.

Like Jean, who is such a lovely lady btw, I met other people with sight loss during last years Sight loss Course (2022).This charity in my home city, does so much good for us all. I really appreciate the welcome everyone gave me last year entering that room. Not knowing how things would go. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

If there is a group near you, and you’re umming and arring, I would urge you to go.
