Description
They are basically a collection of curved pieces of plastic which are made to fit specifically in Manley crayons, but it can fit in whatever pencil or pen that has the same
diameter as the Manley crayons (10 mm of diameter).
The diameter of the semi-closed circumference it forms measures 10 mm of diameter, and the height of the crayon identifier is 16 mm.
This object was designed to help blind people in their day to day lives, the crayon identifiers work as if they were labels used to tell apart the crayons by color.
The designs are thougt for blind people to be able to recognise each crayon based on touching the identifier.
The boxes have the same identifiers to get the crayons organized.
Also, the identifiers are really easy to put in the crayon because they fit very well, but you might have problems with taking them out of the crayon, so make sure to make it
carefully.
The crayon identifiers were designed by Iria Campos and Carlos Núñez from @zalatecno (Sience and technology club in IES Menéndez Pidal -A Coruña) for helping blind children in the area of A Coruña. The children have tryed them and they have gave us feedback with positive avaliation.
