[blparent] Educational toys/tools

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Thanks so much. I will definitely check this out. My mom being a
teacher, I have a more old-fashioned sense of education and what is
appropriate for learning. It sounds like Discovery has some great
products. This is helpful.

Melissa beat me to it.  I also sell Discovery Toys.  I can tell you
without a doubt that many of the Discovery Toys can be adapted for a
blind parent. These toys are exactly what you asked for: toys that are
child-powered, not battery powered.  They are nice classic toys!  If you
haven't already, check out her website! Besides the ones that she
mentioned, I'd like to add the Measure Up stacking cups.  Each cup is
numbered and the bottom of the cup has raised dots in the bottom.  12
has 12 dots, 4 has 4 dats... If you fill the number 3 cup and the number
5 cup with beans or rice, they will fill the number 8 cups perfectly.
They are stacked in a 4 color pattern and they can be easily labled with
braille.
