Here's the link for our Braille Pals program:

How old is your baby?  He/she might enjoy "experience books" where 
you place items he/she is familiar with on the page (or in a box), 
along with some Braille labels.  For example, a bath time book might 
have a wash cloth, a little bar of soap, and a bath toy.  You can use 
a big binder to make the book.

NBP has the Read Books program:
http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/programs/readbooks/readbooks.html
You can fill out the form online.  It includes several how-to books, too.

You might want to take a look at The Bridge to Braille, available at:
