[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello everybody!

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Welcome back dick.  How about introducing him to the flowers and the trees, I mean the different kind of leaves.  Kids like to press leaves in a book and learn their shape.  Flowers are fun to smell, feal and learn to identify.  Even nuts in the fall.  How about going to a farm or zoo.     
When I was a kid I played with American bricks, every time I got.  I liked to build houses, churches and cabins out of Lincon Logs.  I think they might even have some that they can make things like cars, trucks and rockets.  They are fun and not messy.  It teaches a kid about building and creativity.

Hello again everybody!

Dick Carlson here once again.  I had to get off many lists for the past three months due to being so busy and not available as much for a lot of email.
I had to get back on.
Anyway, this was a good list for good ideas and I hope to write from time to time.
You guys remember me dealing a lot with my nephew Willy, who just turned seven years old.  
He's been in school and is doing quite well for what all he's been doing so far.
I still look after him and am helping raise him, and things are going OK!
There has been some great improvement in some areas as well.
One thing he's asked lately is why we haven't done any art any more.  I guess it's been a little while since we've done anything crafty.  Hmmm.  Not good!
Anyway, I guess we're going to get back to trying some fun crafts for kids.

Take care,
Dick
