April 2017 "Eggstravaganza!"

Happy Spring Everyone!

Our "Bunny In The Grass" trickle in activity kept our Sibshoppers busy as we gathered and got reacquainted for this months Sibshop.  As always, I am impressed and sometimes shocked by the artistic creativity and freedom expressed by our Sibshoppers!

I don't know that I would want to come across this bunny in my grass! Doesn't appear to be the soft, cuddly type.  :)

 "Color Guard" got us up and moving in the beautifully warm weather. This favorite has a guard trying to protect the basket from getting full as other players do their best to fill that empty basket with their colored eggs.




 You may have heard of "Hot potato, Hot potato, Hot potato, Whoo!", but how about "Egg potato?"
We revamped a traditional hot potato game and played it with a few filled plastic eggs instead.



 When the music stops, whoever is holding the egg potato cracks it open to reveal a question they must answer.  Of course, these questions relate to their experience having a sibling with special needs.

 This relay! These relays are a lot more complicated and tricky than our Sibshoppers tend to initially believe!This one had eggs on spoons, the "putt"ing of plastic golf balls, getting wiffle balls to a target only using breath power and some chalk writing. Pretty fun stuff! 

 We knew the kids didn't want to miss out on a traditional Egg Hunt, so we filled more than a hundred eggs and threw em out in the grass for hunting. Our Sibshoppers were impressed with their sugary treasures.
