Great idea, and surprisingly, has universal appeal for all ages. I used a packet of lemon jelly crystals in the dough, recently. This added a nice yellow colour, but not much smell, so the essential oil would be a nice addition.
One man made the dough into fish pieces which he then wanted to cook so we got out a frypan and fishslice (no heat though). This was a meaningful activity and great to see him in his element. Must try the glitter too next time.
I am starting my 2nd day as a Life Enrichment Coordinator and am loving it. I subscribed to your site to learn more about the assisted living world. I am loving the hands-on ideas and thoughtful articles. Thank you!!
