What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a set of 16 replacement polyblend pages in assorted colors for the APH Tactile Book Builder Kit — a system that lets educators and families create custom tactile books for students who are blind or have low vision. The pages are made from a durable plastic-blend material that holds tactile elements (glued, sewn, or heat-bonded objects and textures) without tearing, and the color variation helps students with some residual vision distinguish page turns. This is a consumable replacement pack, not a complete kit — you need the original Tactile Book Builder Kit (catalog #1-08826-00) to use these meaningfully, as that kit includes the binding hardware and instructional materials. The pages themselves are blank, so actual usefulness depends on someone — typically a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or a parent with guidance — creating meaningful content from scratch.
