World Braille Day

World Braille Day is a special day on January 4th to celebrate the birthday of Louis Braille, who invented the Braille system. Braille is a way of writing and reading for people who are blind or have vision problems. It uses tiny bumps on paper that people can feel with their fingers to understand words and numbers. This day helps people learn more about Braille and why it's important for everyone to be able to read. It also reminds us to support and respect people with vision difficulties so they can have equal opportunities in life.

How to celebrate World Braille Day?

Hold a fun event where everyone wears blindfolds and tries to read braille books or cards, enjoying a challenge together. Create a braille treasure hunt with hidden messages in braille. Make a craft project by creating braille name tags with raised dots using glue or stickers. Watch a movie with audio descriptions to experience storytelling without seeing. Invite a person who uses braille to share their experiences and teach basic braille. Bake cookies and use chocolate chips to create braille letters as a fun treat. Share what you learn with friends to spread awareness and support for braille users.
