Santa Claus knows braille and is ready to send letters from the North Pole! This Christmas your child or student can participate in the holiday fun and receive a letter from Santa. Elves are standing by to send free braille letters to children in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
BrailleWorks (USA)
BrailleWorks will send letters from Santa in braille. Santa offers a choice of four different letters that can be embossed and sent in large print and braille to children in the United States. Requests must be made by December 15, 2018 in order for all letters to arrive by Christmas.
