Unicorn Braille Design

This unicorn braille design was created for a student who loves unicorns. Suzy Blackham has shared with us the instructions for others to also enjoy a little unicorn magic.

Update: A TVI used the Unicorn Braille Design with one of her students and then used it as an art project with watercolors!  @stacytvi

Unicorn braille design with watercolors

 

How many of you have a student obsessed with unicorns? I sure do!

I created these instructions as a gift for my student and spent way too much time on it not to share it with y’all.
