Hydrangeas are popular flowers that add color to the rainy season.

This time, we’ll show you how to make hydrangeas with origami—a simple activity that even older adults can enjoy.

Using your hands is not only brain training for seniors, but it can also help maintain and improve concentration and memory.

Displaying the finished hydrangeas lets you savor the rainy season, too.

Since it can be hard to go outside during the rainy season, crafts are a great indoor recreation activity.

By all means, try it at adult day care centers and other senior facilities!

Hydrangeas and snails

When it comes to rainy-season crafts, hydrangeas and snails are classics.

Let’s easily turn them into three-dimensional pieces and decorate your room.

For the snail, make a backing sheet, then glue on thinly sliced strips of crumpled origami paper.

This pattern makes the snail look very three-dimensional.

For the snail’s face, make small slits and paste it on so it appears even more three-dimensional.

The hydrangea flowers are easy to finish by simply gluing on multiple pieces of crumpled tissue paper.
