Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Visit!

Updated: Feb 8


On November 27, we had the most meaningful visit at Helen Devos Children's Hospital.  It's these moments that remind us that it is about so much more than a book ...


We were asked to join Ruff Readers with Teacher Katie & Geoff with Blue Glass Studios. They film a live show every 2 weeks that is projected into the patient's rooms. Prior to our visit, we dropped off a box of books so the book and a bag of craft supplies could be delivered to each child's room.


First, Aggie & Heidi from West Michigan Therapy Dogs introduced themselves, answered a few questions and then they left to go visit the kids on the floors.  Then I read "Tasha Goes to Puppy School". After that, we played a quiz game called Kahoot. Katie had loaded in some questions and answers about "Tasha" and Thanksgiving.


Then we did a fun craft where the kids had to disguise their turkey so it wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving.  Katie showed a few examples and then we used the pencils, markers and other supplies to disguise our turkey. Katie's was a Pokemon. Mine was a fluffy chicken with glasses and a wig.


What a wonderful experience!
