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.

Morning glory wreath

Here’s an idea for a seasonal, handmade decoration for older adults that captures the colors of summer: a Morning Glory Wreath.

Make the wreath base by connecting strips of brown origami paper into a circle, then add morning glory flowers and buds using pink and blue origami paper.

Cut leaves and vines from green origami paper and paste them on while checking the overall balance to finish.

This all-paper project is easy to start, and it’s fun to play with color schemes and shapes, giving a sense of accomplishment with each completed piece.

Display it in a room to spread a summery atmosphere—an uplifting decoration that brightens the mood every time you see it.

A heartwarming craft that cherishes the spirit of the season.

A folding screen ornament with goldfish motifs

Goldfish Folding Screen Decoration [Origami Craft] [100-Yen DIY] [Summer Craft] #100yen #daiso #diy #recreation #easycraft #dayservice #craft #senior #summer #goldfish

A folding screen ornament with goldfish motifs

Here’s an introduction to a goldfish folding screen decoration that you can display in your room once it’s finished.

We’ll make goldfish out of origami.

You can fold the goldfish, or simply cut them out in a goldfish shape—either works.

Using origami paper with traditional Japanese patterns or other designs will make it look even nicer.

If you make slits and creases in the construction paper that will become the folding screen, you can create a more design-forward piece.

Attach the goldfish to the screen and it’s complete.

Just placing it in your room will let you feel a refreshing coolness from the goldfish.

Suzuran tape comes in a variety of colors.

It’s a flat plastic bag-type tape that expands the possibilities for crafts.

Prepare cutouts shaped like illustrations of sea creatures such as fish, octopuses, and jellyfish.

Attach them to several strands of Suzuran tape, hang them up, and you’re done.

Using blue or light blue Suzuran tape enhances the ocean atmosphere even more.

For the sea creatures, coloring pages are fine, or you can have seniors draw them.

You can also find sea creature illustrations online, which makes it easy to try.

Sea made of clay

♬ original sound – wincocjifredstephen

In this season when we can sense the approach of summer, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the ocean even indoors? The idea that makes that wish come true is “An Ocean Made with Clay.” Using soft, fluffy clay, you can freely shape starfish, crabs, waves, and more for this wall decoration.

Its charm lies in spending unhurried time while moving your fingertips.

As you create, conversations naturally unfold—memories like “a beach trip from years ago” or “collecting shells with the kids”—leading to reminiscence therapy.

Once finished, hang your work on the wall and a little seaside scene will spread through the room, soothing everyone who sees it.

It’s a warm and enjoyable summer recreation that can also stimulate cognitive function.
