Good afternoon everyone. Just wanting to see what's everybody doing for winter crafts. I have many who love crafts, but they have to be meaningful. We did the old book wreath and it was a great success. We will definitely try that one again next year. Any suggestions for January?
We made a paper mache Mr & Mrs Snowmen. The project involved quite a few residents making the head and body of each, then painting them and finally adding the 'fine touches'. Everyone enjoyed doing it.
Hi Susan, I would love to, have one on my phone but don't know how to do it. I will see if someone in the family can help me. The residents really enjoyed it, so many abilities can be involved, tearing up newspaper, mixing flour and water, painting then the final touches all whilst socialising.
Autumn leave will be a great craft idea March We are doing a study of James bond his character Fleming based on his Australian friend Lindsay Cotton We will be making cigarettes, hand guns, hats for our photo props. This will be a huge learning curve mixed in with fun for all Linda Riedel Palm Lake Care Lifestyle coordinator
