Hi Judy,

It depends on the abilities and capabilities of your clients. Golden Carers has easy crafts and more intricate crafts. Also I would recommend you pick a theme or a date to celebrate; it is easier to organize, here are a few suggestions:

Christmas in July - Paper Stained Glass - Colouring Christmas Angel - Popsicle Christmas Star - Recycled jigsaw

June Celebrations - World Ocean Day Poster - Recycled Fish Mobile

July Celebrations - Preserved Fall leaves

Themes - World Cup - Brazilian art templates

Cheers.

Choose a beautiful piece of music and invite your clients to 'paint to it'. Very soothing!

Try googling "paper plate flowers". I made this with the a client the other day and she really enjoyed it. We used oil pastels to colour in paper plates and then "smudged" the colours with baby oil. They were quite simple and very pretty.

Hi Kristy

Thank you for this valuable information it should help

As the original post said It was for the carers I think a lovely relaxing activity for them is to maybe do half an hour or an hour of listening to relaxing pan pipe or piano music while doing some adult coloring sheets. the music can relax and soothe you can do some deep breathing techniques to start the session off and its up to the individual when they want to colour or just sit and relax for the session.

Hi Natalie
