Laughter, Glitter & Sweet Surprises at Age Connects Barry

This week at Age Connects Barry, we shared a fun-filled session that was bursting with energy, creativity, and a sprinkle of sweetness!

Chrissy from Home Instead got us all giggling with a fast-paced Honky Horn Quiz—a playful and interactive game that encouraged quick thinking, shouting out answers, and plenty of laughter. The honky horn brought a fun twist that kept everyone engaged and entertained! 🎺😄

After the quiz, we moved on to a hands-on Easter activity: decorating eggs with edible sugar flowers and edible glitter. The room was filled with concentration, colour, and conversation as each person designed their own edible Easter masterpiece.
