touch and feel
pictures
Have you ever wondered how
blind people can read books?
Why don't you try making some
touch and feel pictures so you
can understand how blind people
use their sense of touch to 'see'?
WHAT YOU NEED:
99 paper
99 PVA glue in a squeezy bottle
Blind people read 'Braille' where different
patterns of bumps on the paper help
them to feel what words are on the page.
Even if you can't read braille, you can
understand what it is like to try to
understand a picture using just your
sense of touch.
1
Lay out your paper, and using the
squeezy PVA glue, draw out big
thick lines of glue, to leave a big
thick line on the paper. Draw a
simple picture, so it isn’t too hard.
2
Once this is dry, see if
other people can work
out what the picture is
using just their fingers!

Why not ask someone
to make one for you,
