Lego Braille Bricks are simple yet brilliant

An open box of LEGO® Braille Bricks. A hand holds up a blue LEGO Braille Brick. Another hand is poised to pick a LEGO Braille Brick from the box.

Lego Braille Bricks have been available to specialised institutions serving vision-impaired students for a couple of years now, and due to positive feedback, they're set to launch to everyone from September.

The idea of having both symbols is that it allows for more accessible/inclusive play.
