Baby Teething Rattle

MY VERY OWN® Rattle is handcrafted from a single piece of Rock Maple.  The rings are not put on separately.  Rock Maple is strong and tightly grained, so the big, sturdy Rattle won’t break or splinter – and there’s definitely no danger of swallowing.  This rattle is made from the same tree that gives us maple syrup.  It is the cleanest and purest of all woods.  There is no paint, lacquer, wax, oil, or any other finish on it, so Baby can chew safely on the sweet maple wood.  It is recommended for babies who are 5 months and older.

We have included MY VERY OWN® Rattle because we like it so much – for any age.  It feels and sounds so good!  It also complies with all the American and European safety standards for teething toys. 
Cost: $20.00 plus S/H

Braille ABC Blocks:


These cubes look like classic alphabet blocks with one colorful difference: One face of each has an impressed letter and corresponding Braille cell in the lower right-hand corner.  Just right for kids with visual disabilities.  Activity Idea: Play a “find the letter I say” game.  Put out three blocks.  Ask your child to pick one with the letter or sound you name. 
Cost: 27 blocks $29.00 plus $9.00 S/H.

Braille Math Blocks: A great companion to the Braille ABC blocks.

This math Braille set features 16 blocks of the classic ABC blocks embossed on two sides each with numbers and math symbols.  Based on the Nemeth code, the set features more than two sets of numbers (1-9) and symbols plus, minus and equals. 
Cost: $19.00 plus $9.00 S/H

Dr. Drew’s Discovery Blocks: A Favorite of Ours

Dr. Drew’s Blocks are made of the finest New England hardwood: kiln dried American Beech.  Blocks are all one size (3” x 2” x ½”).  They are perfectly balanced and can be stacked flat or end to end.  SO MUCH EASIER for visually impaired children to use when first learning to stack blocks.  They fit their hands nicely and are also great fun to clap together.  They won the BEST TOY of the YEAR AWARD from the Parents Choice Foundation.

Cost: 72 Blocks in a Red Canvas Bag  $50.00 +S/H
108 Blocks in a Wooden Tray  $75.00 +S/H
288 Blocks in a Cardboard Box  $115.00 +S/H

The Visual Hand Display (VHD)

The Visual Hand Display (VHD) was designed and created by Jane Kronheim, educator and artist.  It was developed and researched in Boston in 1988 at Children’s Low Vision Centre.  One side of the VHD features vertical black and white stripes used to access visual responses at varying distances.  The flip side features a girl’s face, which is very attractive and appealing to young infants who are interested in facial features.  On this side, a squeaker is stitched below the surface, safely tucked away within the inner fabric of the VHD.  There are 4 sizes of stripes available.  The wide stripes are the most popular. 
Cost: $40.00 plus S/H
