[blparent] Educational tools/toys

[Chad Allen]

Veritech has a lady bug with shapes built into the toy and the voice tells
you the shapes and other things related to the toy. It's pretty cool.

They also have a helicopter that has different colored balls. When you drop
the ball through the hole on top of it, it tells you the color. I was amazed
when I got it. My parents bought it having no idea how helpful it was. 

Harrison and I play with it tons!

Does anyone know of stores/websites offering accessible educational
items for blind parents teaching sighted kids shapes, colors, letters,
numbers, etc.? We've made items accessible, or have some things that
don't require accessible modifications like shaped blocks, but I'm
wondering if anyone has used a really great product that was accessible;
or just any really great product that can be labeled or made accessible
in some way. I prefer educational-based products and nothing electronic-
I'm more old-fashioned when it comes to education! *smile*
