If you are blind or visually impaired and enjoy colouring - but want a change from children's colouring books - this is for you!
Or perhaps you have never tried colouring - why not give it a go?
This is a set of 10 tactile colouring pictures. (Note: these are loose pages, not actually bound in a book, to make it easier to colour - or share).
Pictures are printed in raised (thermographic) ink which will not flatten when coloured over. Suitable for colouring with pens, pencils or crayons.
All pictures have a title in both clear print and grade 1 Braille.
The images have been designed with feedback from blind and visually impaired people. There are no complicated viewpoints, odd overlapping shapes, or mysterious extra items not mentioned in the titles!
There is a variety of line thicknesses, so that the most important lines stand out the most. Patterns are added in dotted lines.
The pictures are also designed to look attractive to sighted people, so you can share your creations with pride.
Subjects and style are designed to appeal to adults - but kids might enjoy them too!
List of pictures below:
- Flowers - eleven flowers of different shapes and sizes, scattered over the page.
