Polly's Braille（盲文）Help

Recycled Paint
About 10% of paint bought in America each year is wasted. Up Paint is trying to recycle it. It's working with a group called Paint Care. They collect the left paint. Then they resell it. "We're making a good everyday paint," Dustin Martin says. He's the founder of Up Paint. So far, it has offered 18 colors.
Bear Hugs
Hugimals provide comfort anytime you need a hug. Marina Khidekel founded the company and made them. These animals give kids the feeling of being hugged in real life. "Teachers feel that Hugimals help kids with their bad emotions（情绪）," Khidekel says.
Eye-catching Sound
Creating a kind of technology that is also a work of art isn't easy. But Ten o makes it. It's a light that is easy to carry. It's also a speaker. It looks like a broken stone bowl. Pull it apart and light and sound pour out. You can touch it to change brightness or sound.
