As you press steadily on the pen and move it over the surface of your paper, the specially-designed mesh between your sheet and the wooden board will make easily-felt raised lines on your paper, which you can feel by simply turning over the page.Īnd now for a couple of quick hints. Next, pick up an ordinary pen, and, pressing firmly, draw anything you like. To get started, just place a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" letter-sized paper into the indented opening, face-up, on the board. It requires no special, expensive paper or plastic film, nor do you need to use an odd-looking, adapted pen to produce raised lines. Our tactile drawing board is a low-cost, practical instrument you can use to create your very own raised pictures and drawings. Perhaps best of all, you don't need any specialized, expensive plastic sheets or writing instruments to do it - thin copy paper or even thick Braille paper will work nicely!ĭirections for the Raised-Line Drawing Board From Future Aids, The Braille Superstore.ĭon't let this product's somewhat basic design fool you! Because, even though it appears to be nothing more than a glorified wooden picture frame, it actually does serve a real purpose - and a mighty exciting one at that! Now, blind kids can draw pictures to their hearts' content and, in seconds, parents and teachers can produce tactile diagrams of formerly "visual concepts". Never before has there been such an affordable raised drawing system available to the blind. And when you flip the page over, you'll have a perfectly-raised diagram on the reverse side - and every detail will easily be felt. Instantly, you'll be able to feel a clear outline of what you've drawn. Then, using an ordinary pen or Braille stylus, simply draw whatever you like - pressing firmly. Basically, you just place a regular 8.5" X 11" sheet of paper into the frame on this specially-designed wooden board. Our tactile drawing board is a simple and effective tool you can use to do both these things - and more. Product DescriptionHere's a revolutionary new product! How many times has your blind child wanted to draw a picture - just like his sighted friends? Or have you (as a teacher) ever needed to draw your visually impaired student a diagram that she can actually feel?
