Tactile picture books are critical to the literacy skills and emotional development in young children with visual impairment. We report a formative study on new methods for designing and creating tactile pictures. We present two tactile picture books created by handcrafting and 3D printing respectively. We report evaluation of these books by experts, outcomes of our participation in a tactile picture book competition, and encouraging feedback from people in the general public who received copies of our books.
