Looks great. I will give it a go. Thanks.
I love it. Vi had a residents family member complain at our annual inspection that the craft was "demeaning to the residents". Hope these will not go down as too childish.. As we all know it is sometimes very hard to get some elderly folk in residential Homes ,with several types of difficulties to actually do craft. I have done this job for 14 years now...this is my first complaint!!!
That is a shame that someone can not understand some people's limitations and you trying to make it easier and make them feel that they can still engage. Getting them together also encourages conversations so the social aspect is there as well.
all made ahead of time, will hang these up along with using the Symbols, thanks so much for making our work easier :)
I will certainly try this for my residents, thanks for the great ideas.
Hi Elizabeth, what a good idea to use last years' calendar.
Hi, we made the Chinese Lanterns out of last years calendars, the country scenes look really great. Residents all had a good time making them. Look great in the lounge for all to see. Family members are most impressed with them.
I did these with my residents & we put hearts on them for Valentines day & Chinese new year as it was on the same day this year. We hung them in the diningroom as soon as we finished & they were the top of the conversation over lunch.
great
Great project and one all can be involved with
