[Nfb-krafters-korner] Braille pictures

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Jill and Lindey,
 
With the drawing board that we have talked  about I had 2 of them and  
would have the Princess draw me a picture and I would draw her a picture so she  
could color in my picture and I would color her picture.
 
You can have someone trace coloring book pictures and use them to color  
with the kids.

Even  though it is non-colored dots on the paper, I remember that as a 
partially  sighted child, I could actually see the dots very well as long 
as 
they  were only made on one side of the paper.

My children were able to  immediately identify the pictures I have done so 
far, especially once they  clicked that I wasn't showing them braille 
letters 
or numbers, but actual  pictures.
Having had some sight as a child, I still love the idea of  coloring in. 
Drawing something in braille actually gives me a chance to  experience this 
activity again.
I like the fact that one can draw  straight lines and curved ones in a 
controlled way.
