[blparent] Coloring with your sighted children

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

There is a talking crayon thing that will ask you to find crayons of 
different colors.  When you put in the right crayon, Dora the Explorer 
announces the color and sings a song about it.  I found the item on the NFB 
Web site, but I've heard it's also at Wal-Mart.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
