Good afternoon everyone. Just wanting to see what's everybody doing for winter crafts. I have many who love crafts, but they have to be meaningful. We did the old book wreath and it was a great success. We will definitely try that one again next year. Any suggestions for January?
Hi Barb
Why not make some nice snowflakes for January

You can have a discussion about snow or play winter music for this activity
We made a paper mache Mr & Mrs Snowmen. The project involved quite a few residents making the head and body of each, then painting them and finally adding the 'fine touches'. Everyone enjoyed doing it.
Hi Jean
This sounds like a great idea can you send a picture of the finished products
Hi Susan, I would love to, have one on my phone but don't know how to do it. I will see if someone in the family can help me. The residents really enjoyed it, so many abilities can be involved, tearing up newspaper, mixing flour and water, painting then the final touches all whilst socialising.
