[For Seniors] Perfect Finger Exercises! Seasonal Flower Origami

Wisteria flowers brimming with charm

[Craft idea] Wisteria flowers (May, spring) (wall decorations) (recreation for seniors/occupational therapy/daycare) (early childhood education) (origami) (DIY papercraft) (group craft activity) (Fuji Musume - Wisteria Maiden)

Wisteria blooms beautiful pale purple flowers from mid-April to mid-May.

Countless blossoms hang from its long vines, captivating all who see them.

Let’s recreate that scene as a wall decoration.

Make lots of small petals and stick them onto origami paper shaped like tree branches.

The more petals, the lovelier it looks, so let’s invite seniors to help! For the branches, crumple construction paper first and then cut out the shapes.

Once you’ve made the wisteria maiden and the leaves, attach everything to a large sheet of paper, such as poster paper, to complete the piece.

It’s a charming wall display of a wisteria maiden gazing up at a curtain of wisteria.

Seeing the decorated mural may help some seniors feel the spirit of May.
