As dedicated caregivers, we understand the importance of fostering creativity and connection among seniors. Our engaging arts and crafts session is tailored to provide a heartwarming experience for your residents.

    In this activity, seniors will use Q-tips bundled together to breathe life into simple bare trees. The process is simple and delightful, making it a perfect opportunity for seniors to unleash their creativity. The outcome is not just a stunning piece of art, but also a memory-making experience that enhances their overall well-being.

    Step 2: Dot with Care

    Encourage seniors to dip their bundled Q-tips into their chosen paint colors. With gentle enthusiasm, they can start dotting the tree, turning it into a vibrant display of colors. This is where their personal touch comes in – each dot represents their unique creativity.

    Bonus Tip:

    Encourage seniors to play with colors according to the seasons. For instance, using reds and yellows to capture the essence of fall or just be colorful and more creative with added personal touch. This not only enhances their art but also sparks fond memories and conversations.
