This cold (and nasty inversion ridden) Utah winter day was met with only enthusiasm by our small group of Sibshoppers. We tried a new trickle in art activity by making our own puffy paint. It was a success and our Sibshoppers made some awesome designs and puffy snowflakes in honor of the cold and wintry (yet snowless) day.
We followed our painting with a game of "Instant Replay" where we got to practice one another's names and share a hobby/interest with the group. We've got some brave gymnasts in our group!
"Mocassins"--another new activity to our group, provided an opportunity for us to imagine what it might be like to walk a mile in our sibs mocassins. We decided there are things that are definitely not easy for our sibs with special needs, but that we are both lucky to have one another there for the journey. "Sightless Sculpture" underscored the difficulties our sibs may face as our own Sibshoppers had to create a work of art blindfolded by using their fellow Sibshoppers as the model and the "clay."
A silly and great new game of 'Indoor Foot Volleyball" had everyone in stitches until we finished up with some delicious brownie snowmen. Yum.
