[blparent] Coloring with your sighted children

[Jennifer Jackson]

They make scented crayons if you want to spend the extra. I never worried to
much about identifying the colors and all my kids managed to figure it out.
If I knew the color of something I used it, but did not let it be a worry.
My kids are all very artistic and love color too.

I think all parents have areas we are weak in and the best we can do is fill
their minds with as much knowledge and beauty as possible.

do you have a color identifier? that would be a way to tell which crayon is 
which. i'm not sure if they make braille crayons.
