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..
Hi Linda Here are some ideas Oh I like dot painting https://www.goldencarers.com/indigenous-australian-dot-paintings/3356/ 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
I appreciate how accessible everything is to create worthwhile, mind-opening, engaging absolutely wonderful activities for our friends. Our calendars are overflowing with so much variety their is something for everyone, every day. Thank you so much for helping me to create days that always bring something for everyone to look forward to. They are engaged, active, laughing and living life to its fullest because of you there are endless possibilities.
Thanks Linda
