Play is the tool that has proven to be the most effective and efficient in learning resources for children. They learn to forge bonds with others, and negotiate and resolve conflicts in their environment. It is known that there are specialized study centers, toys, and other technologies for people with low vision; however, there is still a gap between teachers and students in these techniques and tools. A more practical and accessible solution is presented in academic, social, and economic issues. The learning block in braille system, which is designed in Autodesk Inventor and printed in 3D to make the high relief using PET as printing material, not only in braille system, but also in Arabic, which represent numbers, letters and two basic operators of mathematics to obtain complete material and achieve a better inclusion of the use of the system. The learning block is also divided into three blocks: basic math operations, word formation, and short sentences. The developed system was tested with the help of ten children with low vision at the San Francisco de Asis school in Lima, Perú, where we were able to observe the errors and deficiencies of the developed product and to enhance it. Finally, this braille block offers an accessible and stimulating way for children with low vision to develop math and literacy skills, as this toy provides a unique tactile experience that favors active learning and the integral development of children with low vision.
