 It was in one of the 2 middle blocks.  I wonder if it could have been real fine screan!  Sure felt almost like silk, so I did not even stay to check it out.

I did not see or come across what you are talking about.  Was it in  the NFB Store?  That is where I noticed the one like I purchased.

Joyce;
What are you drawing on, with this board?  I saw one  at convention that used some kind of fabric.  I did not explore it since  I wanted something I could keep, when done.

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.
