Golden Carers has many craft ideas

It all depends on the ability of your residents and how long do you want the activity to take

There is something simple like coloring for adults

If you tell me the level of function of the residents you want to do this but I could be of more help

Sometimes you can do what’s called chaining

In other words you are a volunteer do most of the craft and then you let the residents finish it

You could also have volunteers help the residents with a craft

Let me know if you need more help

Dementia, High Functional Residents

Hi Edith

I think the ideas I suggested will be good for residents who are high functioning

If the directions are too complex then break them down into simple steps

You may want to ask residents what they want to make

This activity seems like it might be fun. https://www.goldencarers.com/play-dough-crafts/4020/

Collages are always fun to make

You can simplify this if necessary

You could make a collage for any season
