Join the Braille Caravan!
The hottest item at all three national conventions this summer was The Braille Caravan by Creative
Adaptations for Learning, and now available from National Braille Press.
This educational toy, made in the USA, consists of 30 goldenrod non-toxic plastic blocks, each designed with six black pegs that can be manually pushed up or down to form dots 1-6. Using a finger, stylus, or pencil, a young child can easily make letters, words, even whole sentences by manipulating the six dots on each block, and joining them in a "caravan."
This is the perfect tool, built like a toy, to get young blind children acquainted with braille at the earliest age.
And, we discovered that sighted kids also love playing with the blocks and handing them to their braille-reading parents (or grandparents) to check out what they wrote! They did this simply by studying the alphabet chart that comes with each caravan.
In each set, you get 30 "refreshable" braille blocks, a canvas carrying bag, a print Activity Guide, and an English Braille Symbols Chart. (If you wish to have the Activity Guide in braille , please call us at 800-548-7323, or email us at orders@nbp.org. The braille version is free with purchase of the Caravan.
In an effort to get these into the hands of children at the earliest age, we are selling the Braille Caravan for only $30. We believe this is the least expensive braille learning device on the market today.
