How It Works

Our Text-Based Building Instructions allow blind builders to assemble LEGO kits all on their own, once someone has helped them separate the LEGO pieces into groups they can identify. 

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1. Download any Text-Based Building Instructions from https://bricksfortheblind.org/instructions/.

Step 2.  Have a sighted friend sort the pieces

Each set of Text-Based Building Instructions includes information on how to best sort the pieces so the blind builder can build independently. Separate the pieces into groups, storing in them Tupperware containers, Ziploc bags, bowls, plates, or trays. Afterward, let the blind builder know where  each group is.  

Here is a short video on how to sort the pieces.

3.  Once everything’s sorted, let the building begin!
