My TRDs and I made DIY carnations, you can find on pinterest. Fan fold 8 sheets of square tissue paper, we used 6 pink and 2 white for the inner part. staple in the center and pull apart each sheet to form a flower. We had some multi-colored pipe cleaners for the stem-glued. made small 'card's made from stock paper cut out with scalloped scissors, 1 hole punch to slip the pipe cleaner thru- twirled the 'stem' around a finger to curl. We wrote happy mother's day and drew a small flower on the card. Finished it with ribbon. And bringing a small individually wrapped chocolate. We are also face-timing family.
As I'm new at coordinating activities for seniors with dementia, you have given a lot of ideas that I am using and plan on using. Golden Carers is one of its kind. Thank you
