Hello Frank,

3 ideas:
1. nuts bolts and washers. from your local hardware. Larger the better. But not too heavy. Amazon Company ( Melisa and Doug toys) have a similar set in wood. 4-5 men . supervised, for dementia and rehab (fingers).
2. Large deck of cards. 21 game/Blackjack. with cards facing up for each player. Coffee with Bailey coffee cream (non alcohol). Assist small group of men.
3. Vintage Vehicle Program. discussion, photos, name the vehicle, then color Talk about old engines, transmissions, 4barrel , 2 carb, muscle cars, ect. Vintage Coloring Books. Amazon Company

My men often enjoyed sanding blocks of wood or items made from wood. Painting these items is fun too.
One resident's daughter brought a Hot Wheels track and cars and they would have races.
Casting and reeling in a fishing line (with a weight on the end) was fun. Lay a hula hoop in the yard and try getting the weight into the hoop.

Hi Cgv and Diane
Thanks for the info. It’s very helpful.
