Christmas dolls: A creative morning
On November 30, we made toilet rolls that Dini and her team had already painted and decorated with beards and eyes the previous year, filled with chocolates and “hats” made of cupcake papers. Once again, the ladies enjoyed this activity tremendously.
Painting/Drawing: A creative morning
On 26 Jan 2023 we held a painting/drawing creative session in the morning. Residents could colour or sketch or paint with paint or pencils. They all agreed that it was very relaxing and enjoyed the morning.
Gratitude tree: A creative morning
On Thursday, 9 Feb 2023, we made a gratitude tree with our residents. They had to decorate a tree we printed on paper for them and write things they are grateful for on the side of the tree. It was fun, and the resident’s art work was so pretty.
