Learning should be fun. That's Lego's aim, to encourage learning through play.

And, for the first time, it's releasing Braille Bricks in English and French, for people to buy.

The bricks are designed to help blind children, or people who have difficulty seeing, learn to read letters and numbers by touch.

We all know Lego - the colourful toy bricks. But Lego Braille Bricks look a little different.

They include letters and numbers in braille, which are patterns of raised dots that you can read by touching them.
