We did these yesterday with a group. It was hectic but fun and social. The group worked together to produce about 5 of these and they came out so well. Great feedback from residents on how much they enjoyed this session and after an hour and a half most were still going strong. Very engaging and great way to use up lots of bits and pieces of craft paper, glitter, contact, buttons, etc.
Thanks for creating this craft idea. This was a huge hit with my participants. A wonderful group project idea, as everyday involved did their part and it all came together so colorful and had everyone's unique style to it. I would be looking forward to more of these - group based art project ideas for other themes too !
I laminated the pieces of the decorated leprechaun to then blu tack to the wall except for the face which had cotton wool. Its part of this years st patricks day display which was put up in the weeks leading up to the day. See photos. This is a high traffic area in the care centre where the display changes often to reflect different themes for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
