I work with a resident who has a hard time with feeling in her hands and fingers. So to do small tasks is difficult for her. What creative activities could I do with her? She likes to do arts and crafts but I'm not sure what kind of crafts to do with her. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!

Hey Veronica

So nice of you to think of things to do with this person

Here are some suggestions

Besides these you could use dot paints

Simple mandala art

You could adapt and modify some arts and crafts projects they used to like to do so they are simple and can do it

Also you could do part of the product and have them finish it or they could do what they can and you do the rest or get another resident to help them
