[blindkid] Educational toys/games for all ages (Sorry so long)

[Jan Wright]

Hi all,
Since all of you are getting gifts for your blind children, I was wondering if we could post our favorite sources for toys/games that are accessible.
(Okay, you caught me, I have not done much shopping, yet).
I have two  blind friends who enjoy math and math oriented puzzles. At first, I was looking for Kakuro or Sudoku in an accessible format.  
I would like to get them a handheld accessible game.
I know that there are accessible games for the computer.
But, I am looking for something that is handheld and could be for one or two players.
Yes, my friends are adults, but teens might like these suggestions, as well.
I know that Brandy is the "Discovery Toy" rep.
 I know that there is:
http://www.beyondsight.com
http://www.braillebookstore.com
http://www.aph.org
But, are there any new resources that I am not aware of?
Thanks.
BTW.,
We have been cleaning out the game cabinet.
(not, **we**, it is **I**).
I have a monopoly game board in braille and all of the property mortgage cards, chance cards and community chest cards in braille.
I must admit: the money has been used for our 
"home economy game," so it may not all be present.
The houses and hotels and game pieces have been used in other games.
However, if anyone could use the braille board and the braille cards, let me know.
I just checked on the beyond sight website and the braille monopoly game is about $65.
If someone was looking to buy a braille monopoly  game and already had the print one, then, I could send you what I have and you could put the two together.
But, I realize that I don't have the entire game and I am sorry for that.
If someone can use it:  great!
If not, that is okay.
Just putting it out there.
Jan and family
