Paint by Number Safari™ – Endangered Species

by American Printing House for the Blind

$45.00

Setup with instructions The book is tactilely self-explanatory once a student understands the format, but initial orientation to the tactile numbering system benefits from a vision specialist or teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) explaining the layout. Not professional_required because no clinical assessment or programming is needed — but a brief guided introduction meaningfully improves the experience, placing this at guided_setup.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

A tactile coloring book designed for students who are blind or have low vision, using raised textures and a paint-by-number format to make art accessible without relying on sight. Each page contains tactilely distinct regions corresponding to numbered areas, so a student can feel where to apply paint or color and complete a finished illustration of safari animals — many of them endangered species. This is a complete, ready-to-use activity book; no additional devices or software are needed. It's primarily intended for school-age children receiving vision education services, and it's Federal Quota eligible, meaning it can be purchased through a school district's APH quota allocation. The paint-by-number format structures the art experience clearly, but the activity still works best when introduced by a teacher or vision specialist who can orient the student to the tactile layout before independent use.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Open the book and feel the raised tactile regions on each page — no assembly required.
  • With a guide
    1. A teacher or vision specialist orients the student to the tactile key and numbering system.
    2. Student completes pages independently once familiar with the format — initial orientation typically takes 10–15 minutes per session.
