[blparent] Talking Crayons

[Tammy]

Hi,

I love furreal friends.  My son has the elephant, and a gorilla, and Remus has a panda that was supposed to be Colyn's.  I'd originally given it to Colyn last year for Christmas, but Colyn gave it to Remus because Remus kept going in his room and stealing it, and I think he got fed up with it.  lol  Remus is so cute with it though, he holds it in his lap and feeds it it's bottle like we used to do with him, and he koos at it too.

Pet shop, Barbie and Fur Real friends. v

Hi,

Or you can just go to Walmart and pick them up.

If you go to the nfb.org site and visit Independence Market, then click on 
Products, then on Leisure Activities, you'll find the talking crayons and 
also some embossed coloring books so you can feel where the lines are and 
color with your child.  I bought the coloring books also, but I decided to 
wait and give them to Sarah later when she's a little more advanced at 
coloring.  Right now, she just wants to scribble a little on scratch paper. 
She got an Etch-a-Sketch for Christmas, and also a Magna-Doodle, which has a

pen to scribble with.  Anyway, I hope you find the crayons.  They even come 
with an extra set of batteries.  They take watch batteries.  The ones in 
mine were still good.  Like I said, the only issue I had was that there was 
no braille on the crayons like the catalog described.
