While this started out as something for the kids to get involved in, parent suggestions are welcome. The over all goal is to come up with some fun, unique ideas. You could make it a family project to submitt a design. The logo does not have to be part of your design.
Contest for kids / special and typical sibblings to offer their ideas for a cool t-shirt design. Ideas anyone? We are NOT a boring bunch, so we need a design that really shows how cool families really are that are bless with not only a child with special needs but those awesome typical sibblings! So we could have severl designs that are real "eye catchers" and fun.
T-shirts are a wonderful idea! I like the idea about an ispiring quote and bright colors are a must!
great idea, as we know that both our kids with special needs and their siblings are awe inspiring people in this world
Just food for thought: Here is a quote I found that might be appropriate-
"Energy and persistence conquer all things.
Benjamin Franklin"
"The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.
Horace Bushnell"
Just a few ideas... hoping to get the creative juices flowing elsewhere :)
Here is a funny one from Bill Cosby...
"Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home"
Here is one more...
There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.
More funny Benjamin Spock quotes
Okay I've found 4 ideas... now everyone get their kiddos to create some cool designs to put on the shirts everyone wants so badly... happy creating :)
Here's one, or two....;)
"A gem cannot be polished without friction"
"Where there is love there is life"
Are you going to use your logo also??
We will keep plugging along!!
A few quotes I like below, but they don't really fit with my thought. I'm not an artist so I can't design this but was thinking of an open hand and make each finger & thumb a person (litle faces, etc) and saying something about how a thumb can't work w/o fingers etc, they're all important in making the hand work.
Ok, it sounds kind of lame but we'll see if anyone can elaborate on it.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

We can do no great things-only small things with great love.
- Mother Teresa
A couple of more quotes to add:
"We have not come into this world to be numbered, we have been created for a purpose, for great things: to love and be loved." Mother Teresa
"Acceptance is seeing with your heart, not your eyes." Unknown
Can't wait to see the t-shirts! Great idea
this may already be copyright, but I saw it once and it always stuck in my head, it is the way that I hope to raise my son Ronan, to think just as it says..
it can apply to any condition or disability, not just CP.. it is just applicable in my son's case and Zachary's
I may have cerebral palsy , but cerebral palsy doesn't have me
pic of wheelchair...being pushed by peer...."love makes the wheels go 'round"
various faces...."we're all wonderfully made"...."to display the glory of God" ..."each of us has a role to play"....John 9:2-4
but so far it's us parent's giving suggestions and the original idea is for KIDS to do so, right?
