What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 1, 2026
These are replacement Veltex pages for the APH Tactile Book Builder Kit — a system designed to help educators and families create custom tactile books for children who are blind or have low vision. Veltex is a loop-fabric material to which tactile elements (foam shapes, textures, raised graphics) adhere, allowing pages to be built and rearranged without adhesives. This listing is the pages only, not the full kit; you'll need the original Tactile Book Builder Kit (catalog 1-08826-00) for the binding hardware and instructional materials. A good fit for TVIs (teachers of the visually impaired) or parents who have already worn out or lost pages from the original kit and want to keep making books. At four pages per set, heavy users creating multiple books will likely need several sets.
