Hi Laurie,
I did some research too, and I couldn't find anything on the usual
websites that sell Braille products.
If you have a Braillewriter, you could buy print Valentine cards at
the store and Braille the message. If your daughter knows Braille, she
could help you. If you don't know Braille, you can use a Braille
alphabet card and write it in uncontracted Braille.
Another option is to buy foam heart stickers and put them on the print
cards to make them tactile. Although they wouldn't have Braille on
them, your daughter could help make the cards, and the tactile hearts
would make them more meaningful.
APH (American Printing House for the Blind) doesn't sell Braille
Valentine cards, but they do have packages of Braille stickers with
motivational phrases on them. You might try looking for these to put
on a card and make your own.
Hope these suggestions help. It's great to hear from you!

Hi all,
Just wondering...I cannot find any Print/Braille Valentines cards for
my daughters class, you know, like a pack of 10 or 20 to hand out to
her classmates and teachers...I googled it and came up with nada, does
anyone know where I can find these? It looked like National Braille
Press used to do them, but not anymore. Thank you! Laurie Wages
