I thought the same, actually. I think this craft is doable and accessible to those with and without sight, which makes it great for a setting where you have, say, children or adults who are totally blind, some with partial sight and fully sighted in one group.
I don't know if it is just me, but I sometimes find myself wanting to do colouring in, even though I can't see the lines.
I think this craft might provide that opportunity, where it won't matter if the colouring is uneven or over the lines.
I did do lots of colouring when I was a child since I had some sight, so not sure if this has something to do with it.
I have wondered if colouring is something that a child with no or little sight might like to do, with or without adaptation of some kind?
