Hi, Maggie. Since Christmas is coming soon you could try decorating/icing Christmas cookies, and cork craft; making small trees in the shape of Christmas trees. Do not cut the corks for safety reasons. Let them glue the corks together and decorate them as they like it. Also, they may enjoy sorting games like a deck of card to separate into suits or numbers, and colour sorting, https://www.goldencarers.com/colour-sorting/3274/ , balloons’ games, untying wool sweaters, Beach Ball game (a large beach ball tossed gently by feet to clients sitting in a circle.
