This article is focused on the teaching and learning process of eating activity in children with total blindness between 2 and 5 years old, in Medellin – Colombia; and the way in which the guardians impede their development, autonomy and independence, due to ignorance, fears or frustrations [1]. A person from the time he gets up until he goes to bed, demonstrates a motor, cognitive and psychological learning that is traced from early childhood. A child with total blindness will have a lower performance in different areas of life, for all the restrictions that he has with the perception of visual information. Unless the family incorporates teaching and learning strategies in his life [2]. From this approach, it was proposed as a general objective to design a didactic product framed to the eating activity of children with total visual disability, through the integration of techniques and teaching methods, to improve the learning process and autonomy of the child, and strengthen the relationship with his guardian/family. The artifact contains the food and keeps the elements in place, also allows the child to understand how to interact with the object during and after the activity, linking other senses such as listening and touch.
