We have one member that loves to color and paint. I saved this idea last year abd put a reminder in my calendar to start coloring in October. It turned out so much better than I ever imagined. We laminated the pieces to be able to use it for many years to come. Awesome idea!
We used the plain triangles and made our own patterns of round, ball ornaments. I told each to paint them however they wanted and didn't tell them what it is going to be. Lot's speculated that it would be a large piece of pepperoni pizza ;-) They absolutely loved the end result

i think would also be great to make large A3 sized Carboard Triangle Cutouts and follow the same idea, and buy wrapping paper/sticking tape and get the residents to wrap the triangles, putting all the beautiful patterns together as a large tree in the end.
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
