This is a great activity for people of all abilities and we have done it with many day centre groups in past years.
One of our vision impaired clients was so happy she had been able to do this, that she framed hers and it looks great in her dining room.
Thank you for all your great activity ideas!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. Our ladies really enjoyed making these beautiful happy sunflowers. Everyone was able to participate in this group activity and it was a wonderful activity that encouraged team work as the ladies all helped each other. We used crepe paper and kept to the orange yellow tones and it really looks effective. We used an old gift bag for the vase. It sits in a prominent spot near our bingo area and the ladies are loving showing of their new masterpiece.

Lovely idea using sunflowers to cheer up the residents with the dull weather at the moment and at the same time each person being creative.
