<DIV>Share the Love:</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
