[Nfb-krafters-korner] crafts for sighted kids?

[Maria and Joe Chapman]

Hi.

My thoughts on this topic are: 
Crafts for kids can sometimes be modified so adults can do them too.  What a wonderful way to promote the idea that a blind person can craft if she/he is able to teach sighted children a craft. I have often looked at kids crafts and thought it was a neat idea and have thought of doing it myself lol.

Just some thoughts.
Cheers 
Maria
