For years, the Perkins Panda kit has served as a beloved early literacy tool for children with visual impairments. Through stories, songs and activities narrated by renowned New England storyteller Odds Bodkins, this cuddly Panda teaches fundamental literacy skills and introduces braille to children from birth to 8 years of age.

The classic Perkins Panda kit includes the 20-inch stuffed Gund Panda with its own backpack, along with interrelated songs and storybooks in uncontracted (beginning-stage) braille, large print and high-contrast illustrations. Also included are activity guides, a story box, cassettes and a tote bag in which to carry everything.
