News:
Share the Love:
The National Federation of the Blind is partnering with Kellogg’s Rice 
Krispies Treats to create Braille and audio “Love Notes” so parents can 
share messages of love and encouragement with blind children. The Love Notes 
are an accessible version of the writable wrapper on Rice Krispies Treats, 
which allows parents to include messages in their children’s lunch boxes. 
The new, accessible Love Notes are available in two forms: Braille stickers 
and re-recordable audio boxes. The Braille stickers are heart shaped to 
match the space on Rice Krispies Treats writable wrappers for written notes. 
Each Braille sticker sheet includes eight uplifting messages for parents to 
share with their children, such as “you’ve got this” and “love you lots.” 
The re-recordable audio box holds a Rice Krispies Treat and, when opened, 
plays a ten-second, pre-recorded message. The audio box messages can be 
re-recorded over a thousand times. A video has been produced to promote this 
partnership, featuring two of our members, Eme and Tabby Mitchell. The plan 
is to distribute over 6,000 sheets of Braille stickers and co-branded 
NFB/Kellogg’s Rice Krispy Treats alphabet cards, as well as over 1,500 
re-recordable audio boxes. A print/Braille welcome letter will go out in 
every delivery to reinforce the importance of Braille and ensure everyone 
gets the same welcome. The National Federation of the Blind will be 
prominently featured on the website about this program, including a link to 
subscribe to our Imagineering Our Future newsletter. Our participation in 
this initiative reflects our commitment to helping parents raise blind 
children who are prepared to be confident, happy, and productive members of 
society, as well as our emphasis on Braille literacy and accessibility.
