Great idea, and surprisingly, has universal appeal for all ages. I used a packet of lemon jelly crystals in the dough, recently. This added a nice yellow colour, but not much smell, so the essential oil would be a nice addition.
One man made the dough into fish pieces which he then wanted to cook so we got out a frypan and fishslice (no heat though). This was a meaningful activity and great to see him in his element. Must try the glitter too next time.
I cannot tell you all enough how useful your website is. I absolutely love it--it has so many resources that meet the needs of residents in all levels of care. I'm on your site daily. Thank you all so much for sharing with us!!
