November 2012

 "Pushpin Soccer" is one of our favorite Sibshop games! The kids scramble to get their teams balloon past the opposing goalie who is eagerly waiting to pop their balloon before it crosses into the goal.
 "Feelings on a Rope" lets the kids share how they feel about a wide variety of topics. We might ask how they feel about pepperoni pizza or playing the Wii. We might ask what they think about going on vacation with their sib, being asked to help their sib do things or having friends over when their sib is home.

Happy Halloween!

 Our Sibshoppers got creative designing their Q-Tip skeletons
 Everyone wanted a chance to be mummified by their friends!
 Some of our costumed Sibshoppers take time to strike a pose for the camera
 The Sibshoppers are concentrating hard on this Halloween Themed Memory Game
Our kids worked together to create some "Mutual Monsters". They took turns blindly drawing different parts of these scary monsters till they were finally revealed in all their gory glory.

July 2012

 A little art to get started!
 Getting to know you!
 Two of our awesome Sibshop volunteers! Without these girls we would be sunk. They are the best!
 Our Sibshoppers LOVE playing Islands! Ask em about it! It is like musical chairs but with disappearing Islands of Paper Plates.
 Yeah for tie-dye! The weather totally threatened our big fun in the sun Sibshop, but we were able to get outside in a little drizzle to make our t-shirts and to play on the slip-n-slide!


June 2012

 Debbie Sanders, from the Utah School for The Deaf and Blind, came and presented our annual Deaf/Blind simulation. The kids experienced first hand what it might feel like to cope with a special need. Thank you Debbie!

 Our Sibshoppers took very good care of one another as they were escorted around the building and outside to accomplish tasks such as opening doors, drinking from a water fountain, putting together a puzzle and simply walking down a hallway.

We have a great group of Sibshoppers!

May 2012

 Working on a mother's day craft to celebrate Mom!
 Hearing all about Tina's service trip to Europe. The kids were really interested in hearing about her experiences there with children in orphanages and children with special needs. We are so grateful for the luxuries we enjoy here in the States to take care of ourselves and our families and our sibs with special needs.
 Getting ready for the other team's quick advance while soaking up the sun 
outside and playing some fun games.
Enjoying time playing with new and old Sibshop Friends.
