What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

These are large-format plastic refrigerator-style magnetic numbers, each 2.5 inches tall, with raised braille dots alongside the printed numeral. They're designed for young children who are blind or have low vision to learn number recognition by touching the raised shape of each digit alongside its braille equivalent — combining tactile exploration with early numeracy. The set includes 42 colorful pieces and sticks to any magnetic surface like a refrigerator or whiteboard. This is a learning toy, not a formal braille instruction tool — it works best as a playful supplement to structured early literacy support from a teacher or vision specialist.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Open the resealable container and place numbers on any magnetic metal surface — ready to use immediately.
  • With a guide
    1. Introduce numbers one at a time, guiding the child's fingers along the raised numeral shape and braille dots.
    2. Use counting games and sorting activities to build number recognition over time — most families find a natural routine within a few play sessions.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) can integrate these into a structured braille and numeracy curriculum alongside formal instruction.
