July 2026

 Welcome to our July 2026 Sibshop!

As we gathered for our trickle in activity, we created some fun balloon volleyball paddles. More fun than creating them was getting to play all sorts of games with them afterward.




    


"Blind Duplo" was a really engaging activity for our Sibshoppers. They were tasked with recreating a duplo sculpture they couldn't see but only feel. It was a challenging task but one they all enjoyed. We talked about how much we rely on our sight in our daily lives, as well as our other senses, to accomplish tasks. We appreciate how our siblings face their own individual challenges with their senses. 



 
       

Lunch was tasty and we enjoyed hanging out with one another and breaking bread. We enjoyed an active break and then played a silly game of "Catch the Cup." 




Our closing activity for the day was to watch an encouraging video about gratitude while we munched on a delicious popcorn mix. Following the video about gratitude we sat down and made some of our own thank you cards. We love the connection between gratitude and happiness!

Have a happy grateful July and we will see you in August!

June 2026

 Welcome to our June Sibshop.

Trickle In: Snapshots!

I'm not sure our Sibshoppers even fully understand the concept of a camera that uses film, but they enjoyed our activity anyways! They shared snapshots of things they have enjoyed so far this summer and a few of their bucket list items. 




We were so grateful to have a deaf blind simulation run by USDB as the main portion of our Sibshop.
We learned a lot about how to support people with deaf blindness and experience a portion of what it may be like for them. Enjoy these photos of the awesome activity.

















A special thanks to Savannah Fitzsimmons for leading our Sibshoppers in a wonderful simulation that everyone enjoyed and learned so much from.

We enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch together and then had time for a couple of fun games to wrap up this month's workshop.





We love our Sibshoppers and the time we have to play, laugh, eat, learn and grow together each month.
See you in July!
