How The Easter Bunny Treated Me (totally Blind) (self.Blind)
submitted by oncenightvaler
Hey Everyone, thought since it was Easter I would drop in and give some advice to parents and friends of blind people on how the Easter Bunny could be silly and visit them.
When I was younger, my parents would stretch long pieces of twine around so I could follow the twine or rope whichever to the nearest Easter egg.
When I got older they got more technical and used an embosser to print out a list of Scavenger Hunt clues and riddles for where the chocolates were hidden.
They also hid Easter eggs just in one room and by then I knew all the familiar places to look so they challenged me to use my search grid patterns to look for the Easter eggs with my fingers.
Easter egg hunting can definitely be stimulating and useful for the blind child, don't leave them out of traditions, change traditions learn and laugh together.
Eat all the chocolate.

Beeping Easter eggs are a cool thing, too. I remember them from hunts when I was a kid.

The ones we used to hunt for were solid and the size of panty hose eggs. We exchanged the ones we found for candy when the hunt was finished. They had a whole herd of them for the governor's annual egg hunt for the blind in Kentucky. This was late 70's early 80's tho so I'm sure they're made differently now.
I hope they still exist. They were great fun.

I just posted my idea in r/damnthatsinteresting as it wouldn’t let me post a video here - I use key finders for my little boy and it works like a charm
