[blparent] Gift Ideas

[Dena Wainwright]

Hi Michael.

Our daughters are nearly the same age. My daughter, Elise Jaden, turned 14 
months this past Sunday. We got her a couple of Baby Einstein DVDs, some 
books, some play food, and a set of Color Sorting Boxes. The boxes are by 
Lakeshore Learning
www.lakeshorelearning.com

They are a set of 4 square boxes - one yellow, one blue, one red, and one 
green. Each box has a matching lid, and contains 4 things that are the same 
color. E.g., the yellow box has a duck, a banana, a crayon, and a ball; the 
green box has a turtle, a pear, a crayon, and a ball; etc.

Everything is made of a kind of vinyl material, so I was able to stick 
braille labels on things that feel similar. E.g., I put "blue" on the box 
and on its matching lid, and I labeled each of the four crayons and balls 
with their individual colors.

I thought they would really help with sorting, color recognition, etc.

Hope this helps.

Dena
