[blparent] Coloring with your sighted children

[Miranda B.]

Hi,
Ok, our Walmart doesn't carry this. But, I'm going to call Independent
Living Aids and see if they carry it and I missed it. I believe that Amazon
also has this, so we could get it there too.

In Christ, Miranda

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.
