My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

Leveraging my experience working as a care worker at a day service, I am currently active as a writer in the caregiving and welfare fields. Beyond writing, I hope to expand my work into web design and illustration. I am a mother of three who has begun studying to become a certified social worker.

If you can take home the pieces made at day service centers and other senior facilities, you can display or use them at home, adding a little extra enjoyment to everyday life.

Many older adults also enjoy focusing on the act of making things.

So this time, we’ve gathered ideas for projects you can take home.

We’ve included practical items you can use at home, like small organizers and photo frames, as well as pieces you can simply display and enjoy!

The materials are easy to prepare, and we also make use of recyclables like empty jars.

Crafting involves using your fingertips, which can stimulate the brain and help prevent cognitive decline, while also providing a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment from creating something.

Please have fun making these projects!

Felt coaster

Let’s try making coasters out of felt that you can use during snack time at senior facilities or day service centers! If you cut the felt into your favorite shapes—like circles or squares—and combine them with other pieces of felt, you’ll end up with stylish coasters.

Even without a sewing machine, you can easily attach the parts using a glue gun or fabric glue.

You can mix different colors of felt to make colorful coasters, or keep the palette limited for a chic finish.

They also make great gifts, so give it a try!
