[blindkid] Fun Seated quiet activities

[Carol Castellano]

Don't know if he'd enjoy this, but Lilli Neilsen, the great Danish 
teacher of blind children, created a vest on which you can attach all 
sorts of interesting items that the child can then attach and 
detach.  I think the items are attached with velcro and are all on 
strings so there is a pleasant tug and sound when the child plays and 
the child won't lose the toys.  I think you can easily switch out the 
items for new ones.  This might be fun for Jack.

Lilli recommends items that make noise and feel good to the touch.
