[Art_beyond_sight_learning_tools] Labeling art materials

[Louise Brasher]

Hi!  for acrylic paints I have put amounts in circular palettes.  The white
plastic palette has indentations around the edges for colors.  So I can tell
the students I have put "Red paint at 1:00 o'clock, blue paint at 6:00, and
yellow paint at 11:00" or whatever.
Good luck!

O.k. I am wondering what I am doing wrong.  smile.

I am trying to label color pencils and crayons to make them accessible you 
know.  I have tried standard dymo tape and sheets of clear  laminate.
 With the dymo tape the labels won't bend properly to stay on.  With the 
clear laminate I can't feel exactly what the dots are saying unless I really

try.

Has anyone come up with a good material to use for putting Braille labels on

color pencils and crayons.  Or for that mater water color paints?

I need some kind of label as I can't see to tell the colors anymore.

Thanks for any ideas or tips.
