Hi All, I made some of your balloon bean bags and it was very successful. I used wheat which had been in my freezer to kill any mites/nasties. The residents are very high care and at the time none were ambulant. One resident is 92 years young and very alert, mobilises around in his wheelchair; this resident uses the balloon ball I made to assist him with exercises for his hands and I am also going to use them for upcoming ball games. I made various sizes as well as colours. The filling varied as well more/less as this makes a difference in how they feel soft/hard. This activity certainly drew a lot of attention from all in the facility. Cheers, Lyn
I love this idea... Thanks Im going to give it a go this week, thought they would be good to use for my residents with arthritic hands and give pleasure to other resident making them for them.
Thank you so much for this site I use this every month, I do a flyer of what's on each month for my facility and use all the wonderful ideas, quizzes, trivia and craft. It makes my job so much easier.
