I'm making daily packets that include word puzzles, the Day in HIstory trivia page from here, and a coloring page printed on cardstock. I make about 25 a day, they don't all get picked up. Next to the pile of them is a basked filled (and re-filled) with pencils, pens, and boxes of 12 coloring pencils.

I've also been collecting yarn from thrift shops, and have some patterns printed out and crochet hooks and knitting needles available. I ordered 2-gallon Ziplock bags that I have filled with yarn, and hope to put them out.

I'm an Activity Assistant who started working at a retirement/assisted living facility less than a month ago. So, I got to lead a few activities. Now I'm organizing and inventorying our craft supplies.

I'm hoping to get some embroidery hoops, and make little craft kits with those; and maybe cross stitch too.

I'm also going to ask if I can have some $$ to make Easter baskets for everybody. I've found brand-new playing card boxes at thrift shops, and want to order Tangle Toys which are a fidget toy that you can get imprinted with a message. I got one at a caregiver conference and love it.

We aren't doing 1-on-1 visits, and I don't know if that's going to happen. I hope so. I don't really know the residents yet, but am hoping to get more solitary craft activities happening.
