Hi, regarding affordable presents for volunteers. You could assist residents to make book-marks as instructed in the website, but do it in scraps of colourful leather. I was given one in yellow leather with a giraffe's head at the top. I love it! You could also assist them to make small containers from clay and then decorate them. Working with clay provides a wide range of experiences - creative, tactile, and pleasurable.The firing can be done with or without a kiln. Fifteen years ago when I was working for the RSL in Pinjara Hills, a sight deficient gentleman made me a small container. It is one of my prized possessions ever. I will place a photo of it for you to see soon.Cheers, Solange
Thank you so much for this site I use this every month, I do a flyer of what's on each month for my facility and use all the wonderful ideas, quizzes, trivia and craft. It makes my job so much easier.
