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

[Brandy with Discovery Toys]

Hi, If you find something on my webpage www.playtoachieve.com you have till 
the 12 of Dec. to get it on time for Christmas. I'd recommend Stormy seas 
for the brain teasers on  your list. For those who have some vision I 
recommend tricky fingers. Hope this helps some. Bran

> I would like to get them a handheld accessible game.
> I know that there are accessible games for the computer.

> http://www.braillebookstore.com
> http://www.aph.org
> But, are there any new resources that I am not aware of?
> Thanks.

> 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

> 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

> 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.
