Beeper Eggs

Beeper eggs can be used in an egg hunt so blind and visually impaired children can find them using their auditory skills. To order go to Maxaids.

Lit Easter Eggs

Students with a visual impairment including CVI can benefit from using eggs that are lit. Glow eggs can be purchased from Amazon.

In our complex needs classroom at a local elementary school, we hung some of the glowing eggs with streamers. This way students in wheelchairs and using walkers could better participate by grabbing the eggs on their own.

Create an Egg Hunt in a Sensory Bin

Using sensory bins filled with paper grass and eggs can be a fun alternative for students with multiple disabilities or who may be confined to a wheel chair. Age appropriate items can also be used in the bin.

Easter Activities for Learners with CVI

These Easter activities are designed for children and youth who have cortical/cerebral visual impairment or CVI. Using light to draw attention to Easter-themed items helps learners with CVI participate in inclusive activities and increase visual attention.
