Australian Bookmarks for Australia Day

Thanks for the wonderful idea filling in for a few weeks this activity will be great

Thank you for your great ideas, so useful and encouraging. This keeps me wanting to do better and not stuck trying just to think of things. You are a blessing to me and the residents including the volunteers! :)

Thankyou for the Australia Day Book Marks, Residents and I have had a lovely time together making them. Shirley NSW

what a great activity ,I will try it with my

residents.Iam sure

they will look beautiful .Matylda

Great idea Marilyn, thank you. I might do one and place a photo on the website for our colleagues to see how lovely they look.

These can also be made from collected Australian leaves, flowers etc and laminated. Take your residents for a walk, have someone carry a basket (particularly good for those with sight impairments, dementia, or in wheelchairs)and either you or others "collect" the items residents point out for you. A good way to awaken the senses, and another lovely way to celebrate all things Australian. Take them back and use them as above....

So glad I joined up to your very useful and fun site! thanks - Judy nsw
