I apolgoize for the late response. We used laundry baskets for the dollar store, but a carboard box would also work if you have them around your building!
I apologize for the late response, Tess! We use laundry baskets that we bought from the dollar store. You could also you smaller cardboard boxes as a base if you have them around your building. It has worked out great!! Please let me know if you have additonal questions.
Another easy option to consider for this activity is using exercise balls. We have a Certified Drum Instructor who brings exercise balls and drumsticks for the clients to beat to the rhythm of the music. Sessions focus on motor skills, attention, and socialization as the clients enjoy singing to the music as well. We have received many compliments from staff and clients about the activity.
What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!
