I need to go and check it out. I haven't been their for a while. Between the BRL site and the National Braille Press, Erik can't avoid being an avid book reader.

You open them up and there are all sorts of cool things your kids can do. we got Erik a book to teach shapes and colors. The shapes are attached by velcro and the colors are embroidered so you can read the color on each page. And of course, the shapes are tactile. They had other books that taught the ABC's which were totally tactile, numbers, animals, etc. I'll find the business card and share with the list.
