[For Seniors] August Wall Decoration Idea Collection
August is still in the height of the heat.
Many quintessential summer events, such as fireworks festivals, beach outings, and summer fairs, are held during this time.
We’d love for older adults—who often find it difficult to go out—to feel the season as well.
So this time, we’re sharing ideas for August wall decorations.
Seeing summer-themed decorations inside the facility may evoke memories, such as time spent with family in the past, and could serve as a form of reminiscence therapy.
Some older adults lead days with few changes and may find it hard to sense the seasons.
By feeling summer through seasonal decorations and recalling enjoyable events and activities from the past, it may help improve quality of life.
Try brightening up your facility with wall decorations that evoke the image of summer.

soft serve ice cream
Perfect for summer, let’s fold a soft-serve ice cream with origami.
After folding the paper in half, fold the bottom right and bottom left corners inward to meet at the center.
Next, fold the bottom point up to align with the top point, then fold so that the center crease lines up with the right crease.
While looking at the center crease, shape the ice cream by forming creases that create the ice shape.
When shaping the ice cream, it works well to fold it as if making a spiral.
Finally, draw a pattern on the cone with a felt-tip pen to finish.
summer vegetables
When you think of vegetables that evoke summer, what comes to mind? Many vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and corn are in season.

With simple folding methods, you can create lovely summer vegetables out of origami.
It could also be fun to start by asking the seniors to name vegetables harvested in summer before beginning the craft.
