Hi Linda, I often print templates of Australian native animal pictures or simply 'Happy Australia day' banners and flags (a lot of pintable's are provided free on the internet) and provide equipment and colours needed for them to paint or colour in with textas. With aprons and gloves and plenty of supervision / guidance, my high care dementia patients seem always enthusiastic once started and have fun. Its basic, easy to supervise and prompt..

Thank you Janaya For your ideas

Hi Linda

Here are some ideas

Oh I like dot painting

Instead of printing these templates out by some dark paint and a craft store https://www.goldencarers.com/indigenous-australian-dot-paintings/3356/Instead of printing these templates out by some dot paint at a craft store and put a piece of paper in front of each resident with a paint and see what they create

If you can’t find dot paints you can use bingo Dobbers

You can adapt and modify any of these activities to make them simple are you could have a simple party and sing happy birthday to Australia
