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
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/

You can simplify this if necessary
You could make a collage for any season
