[blparent] Helping child with letters when blind- wood vs. plastic

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I remember the old plastic letters, grin. I think I had a set when a
child. I like the Doug and Mellissa products because they not only
encourage play without the flashiness of most toys today, which are more
of a distraction than a learning tool, but they are toxic-free. Their
products are also very affordable. I have bought quite a few on Amazon
at great prices, and I have yet to be disappointed with anything.

Sincerely,

I like wooden toys too for a variety of reasons, but I thought I would
add that there is a plastic set that is available at Toys-R-Us that also
has braille on each of the letters.
