LEGO® Play with Braille - Italian Alphabet

Description

An alphabet you can feel

Every brick in this set carries a raised pattern of one to six studs that matches standard braille, with the printed letter shown alongside it. Children with and without visual impairments can learn the Italian alphabet side by side, touching, matching and comparing bricks as they go. The 287 pieces cover the full alphabet plus numbers, so learners can spell whole words or try simple sums using the same set. Combining touch with sight makes an abstract skill concrete, and the parts list on this page shows exactly which 43 elements you need to build it.

Colours that guide the eye

White forms the base for most letter bricks, while dark azure, yellow and red pick out groups such as vowels or special forms. This colour coding helps learners recognise patterns quickly and turns sorting into a small learning game of its own. Even without prior knowledge of braille, the colours make it easier to see how the Italian alphabet is built and how it differs from other language versions in the series, such as Spanish. Owners of several language sets can also mix and compare bricks across alphabets.

Built for classrooms and home learning

At 287 pieces and 43 unique elements, the set is compact enough for home use yet substantial enough for classrooms and support services offering inclusive teaching. There are no minifigures included, so the focus stays entirely on the tactile and visual side of learning letters. Teachers and parents can use the bricks for word games, name tags or simple puzzles without needing extra material. The set also pairs well with other Play with Braille editions, for instance when building a multilingual learning corner.

Reading the parts overview

This page lists all 43 unique elements in set 40723 with their colour and quantity, so you can reorder missing bricks or compare the set against other Braille editions. That is especially useful if you collect several language versions and want to know which base bricks repeat and which are new to a given alphabet. It keeps a growing collection organised by colour, part and quantity, without needing to take every set apart to check.
