Feel 'n Peel Sheets: Carousel of Textures

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 7, 2026

These are tactile sticker sheets — peel-and-stick materials in assorted textures and colors that educators or parents use to create or adapt books, maps, games, and other learning materials for students with visual impairments. The core use case is making visual information accessible through touch: a teacher might use different textures to represent geographic features on a map, distinguish characters in a story, or label game pieces. You're buying raw materials, not a finished product — you'll need to design and assemble whatever tactile activities you have in mind. For best results, someone familiar with tactile graphic design principles (a TVI or O&M specialist) can help ensure the textures chosen communicate information clearly rather than just adding physical variety.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Peel individual texture sheets from backing and press onto surfaces to create tactile elements.
• With a guide
  
  1. Plan which textures to assign to which concepts or map features before starting.
  2. Cut, layer, and adhere textures to paper, cardboard, or book pages to build tactile graphics or adapted materials — allow 30–60 minutes per project depending on complexity.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) can guide texture selection to ensure tactile distinctions are meaningful and perceivable by the student.
  2. For complex tactile maps or educational materials, consult APH curriculum resources for tactile graphic design standards.
