[blparent] Toddler Toys

[Dena Wainwright]

It is called the fridge farm, and it has a pig, horse, cow, duck, and sheep. 
the toy tells you what color the animal is, which is great when you're 
totally blind. it also gives the child facts about the animal like "a baby 
cow is called a calf." elise can't make the matches yet, but she loves 
watching e do it, and she loves the banjo music on the toy.
