I am currently updating our activities station. Its a small cupboard with drawers. I have labels for books, craft, card games, table games bingo, and puzzles. I am starting to add more content and swap out things. weekly to ensure the carers and myself always have something on hand. I have space on top of the cupboard and on a shelf for more things. What should the 6th category be, and what should I put on top that will be functional, but also look nice? Any ideas?
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. Never disappointed when looking for inspiration when logging on to Golden Carers. We are so fortunate to have access to so many different ideas to use on a daily basis. Cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful work you do putting all those resources at our fingertips.

I know for my residents I have quite a few who love coloring. Everything from the very detailed to basic color by number.
Thank you for your input
