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.

“Fireworks with String Art” is a wall display project for older adults that’s enjoyable both to look at and to make.

The method is unique: first, stack circular pieces of colored paper to create a base, then stretch colorful threads radially over the top.

The layered paper enhances the fireworks’ three-dimensional look, while the thread colors recreate the sparkle of a night sky.

Because the process requires care and precision, it naturally boosts concentration and is effective for fine-motor rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation.

The finished piece not only brings a summery atmosphere, but also fosters a sense of achievement and pride for the creator.

Give it a try!

Fireworks made with felt

[100-Yen DIY] Fireworks! A Summer Tradition—Just Cut and Stick

Fireworks made with felt

We’d like to introduce an idea for a wall art project with a soft texture and colorful palette: “Fireworks Made with Felt.” Simply cut felt of various colors into radial strips and stick them down to create the shape of bursting fireworks.

Because the steps are just cutting, arranging, and pasting, you can take your time and enjoy it at your own pace.

The soft feel of the felt is soothing, and choosing which colors to use is part of the fun.

Add rhinestones or stickers to the centers and tips of the fireworks, and they’ll look just like the real thing blooming in the night sky.

It’s a project full of seasonal flair that will fill your room with a summery atmosphere.

Fireworks put you in an emotionally rich mood and provide a wonderful kind of stimulation, don’t they? They’re especially beneficial for the brains of older adults.

As we go about our daily lives, it’s easy to lose a sense of contrast and of the seasons, so seasonal events are very important.

When you make a fireworks craft, you can imagine the summer that’s just around the corner.

This time, I’ll introduce a fireworks craft using origami and bamboo skewers.

First, wrap the origami paper around the bamboo skewer.

Then attach them to construction paper to depict the fireworks.

The steps are very simple, yet the result is a splendid display of fireworks, so I highly recommend it.
