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!
I really love your website. I still find it incredulous that this site exists. I know how hard it must be for our Lifestyle teams to keep coming up with ideas and activities and to now have found this site - WOW. I really do think it says a lot about the immense value of community collaboration - because this site is about that! so I am immensely proud that people, especially older people, may be benefitting from this wonderful resource all over the world.
So nice of you to think of things to do with this person

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
