no, because first and foremost children are born as blank state and they only learn to learn things as they grew up. and imagination is develop as the child grew up and he cannot imagine something which he did not experienced through his senses. any absence of one sense is a failure to incorporate something in the mind since one sense forfeit to experience what is supposed to be is. and the mind only has the ability to think and imagine as well. ex. you cannot a imagine a box if you don't have the sense of sight. and what is love in your imagination or in your mind without the sense of feeling. how ever the sense of touch too cannot guarantee that you can imagine the shape that you did not see because you cannot perfectly picture the real things.
