[blparent] Gift Suggestions for an 8-year-old?

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

For playdough and minimizing a mess, have him play with it ona paper
plate or a cookie sheet that you can wash.

Subject: [blparent] Gift Suggestions for an 8-year-old?

Hi all,

I'm Christmas gift shopping for my boyfriend's little boy and thought
I'd
ask you guys for some suggestions.  Nathaniel is 8-years-old and in
second 
grade.  He's sighted and I'm blind.  I've bought him a couple of
accessible
games and he has really liked them.  I got him the Freeze-Up talking
category game from Amazon and Braille Uno from the NFB "Independence
Market.
I also got him Play-Dough that he loved and his dad hated because of the
mess.  LOL.  Does anyone have any other suggestions for fun things for
the
little guy and I to do together?

I posted a while back about accessible computer or Wii games, but I only
got
a couple responses.  So I guess that means there really isn't much out
there?  So in this message I'm asking for any recommendations for
accessible
toys or games of any kind.

Thanks in advance,
Allison
