ColorSENSEation

"A tactile coloring or painting experience, ColorSENSEation features eight custom coloring subjects by San Francisco artist Debi Harrison. These are not just pictures to color….they are printed on heavy paper with dark, deeply embossed lines. These pictures are perfect for visually impaired individuals learning shapes and outlines. Each picture is titled in English with the title in Braille blind embossed underneath.
The heavily embossed lines of the drawings are easily followed with the fingers and facilitate using a crayon or paint brush. Ideal for children with visual impairments or motor skill challenges, ColorSENSEation levels the playing field for children with disabilities. Book One covers four themes~food, pets, jungle, and mythology and features ice cream, ginger bread, and cupcakes, puppy, kitten, and goldfish, peacock, giraffe, and alligator, and pot of gold, pegasus, and mermaid. Book Two also explores four themes~celestial, garden, sea life, and transportation and includes sun, stars, and moon, spider, ladybug, and centipede, turtles, octopus, and crabs, and submarine, tugboat, tractor.

Dawn Smiddy, an instructor at Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind, points out that "Color is a concept. We associate color with memories and senses other than just sight. This is why the concept of color is not perceived the same from person to person. Understanding this as a concept, allows the artist to embark on an exploration into color that is not only useful in the everyday life of the visually impaired artist, but a lot of fun! So allow yourself to enjoy learning and exploring the art of painting. There are no rules that apply to color choices, so experiment. In art, it is moreover about process, NOT the finished product. Challenge yourself with each stroke of the brush!"

Brave Kid Cape Kit

Brave Kid Cape Kit

Kids cannot get enough of super heroes, those "caped crusaders" who make the world safer. Kids facing hospitalization, medical procedures, and treatments need all the help they can get to be brave, manage their fears, listen carefully and cooperate with instructions, to "get through" whatever must be endured. Play is essential to successful coping, and a Brave Kid Cape can magically turn a child into a super hero, and we all know how powerful and brave they are.

Brave Kid Capes Kits are designed to help pediatric patients feel as safe, secure, and brave as possible while undergoing challenging, often frightening, medical services. Helping children understand the necessity of listening and following instructions during their treatments is essential. The Brave Kids~Bailey, Bobby, Beth, and Brad~serve as role models. Strong, understanding, and supportive, they want each patient to succeed, and they speak the language of these particular children. The Brave Kids help to communicate to children that their feelings are important and that staying positive and strong impacts their experience.

Each kit contains a metal keepsake box, Brave Kid cape, coloring sheets, stickers, and a membership card. The Brave Kid Cape unlocks the magic. When young children put on their Brave Kid Capes, they feel more courageous. This sense of bravery helps children coping with scary situations. To insure safety, the capes feature quick-release, easy break-away clasps.

Available a choice of red or purple, Brave Kid Cape Kit makes an ideal gift for any child needing encouragement or validation for being brave. Being in hospital and undergoing procedures are but two challenging situations calling for bravery.

XaXa, pronounced Ksa-Ksa, re-defines what a ball can be while inviting exploration, encouraging creativity, and challenging adults and children to explore what's possible. Made with a polycarbonate core and a removable TPR 100% phthalate and latex free skin, this lightweight 2 3/4" ball weighs only 2 2/3 ounces empty. The core is an inner ball that pulls apart to reveal a hollow center. Fill XaXa with different objects in varying amounts to change the sound or weight. What comes to mind~ball bearings, coins, rice? These are only a beginning. XaXa comes in primary color combinations: yellow/cyan, cyan/magenta, and magenta/yellow. Explore, mix and match colors. The smooth, super elastic skin features raised rim circular cut-outs and offers textural contrast to the bumpy, hard, rigid core. Both core and skin encourage play together and separately. Together they roll, separately the core rolls, the skin bounces, and that's only for starters.

Xa, as the elastic skin is called, has unique features that inspire creativity and active outdoor fun. Push a balloon through an opening in the skin, blow up the balloon, tie off the stem and tuck the end under the skin, and you have an altogether new toy. Filling the balloon with water creates another . Stuffing Xa with a sponge, and wetting the sponge is yet another.

Teachers of the blind and visually impaired will find XaXa a versatile toy as they explore similarities and differences with their charges. Tactile differences and the ability to vary its sound and weight makes XaXa a must have in any toy bag.
