[blparent] talking crayons

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I bought a Dora the Explorer set of six talking crayons on the NFB site, but 
I've heard they're also available at Wal-Mart.  The crayons don't actually 
talk.  There's a module that comes with the crayons.  Dora sings her famous 
theme song, then asks the child to find a crayon of a particular color. 
When the child plugs the correct crayon into the module, Dora talks about 
the color in English and Spanish, and spells the English color name.  So the 
set is really meant for a sighted child to choose colors and learn about 
them.  If there are actually crayons that a blind person could hear and use 
by color, I'd love to hear about those.
