Thanks again for this fun activity. I had eleven residents take part and they all enjoyed making the mixture and feeling the texture of the dough whilst kneading the dough. Painting the next day again was fun and sticking the magnets on the back. Each resident was proud of their shape and have these being displayed on their mirror in their rooms. Thanks again for the great ideas.
Hi Tracy, thank you for sharing. I am glad it worked well for you.

Hi all, Our day club (demential specific) has just completed this activity with a group of pre-school children who meet with us each month. We did it over 2 months.Created one month, painted the next. It was a fantastic activity. And even though some of our creations were on the "odd" side, the activity itself was so worthwhile. It was a great bonding activity to be part off.
It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.
