I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

How about giving origami as a gift to an older adult?

Origami makes a perfect present for Respect for the Aged Day, birthdays, and other special occasions.

Handmade gifts warm the heart and make people feel cozy inside.

For such occasions, flowers are a great choice in origami, as well as celebratory good-luck cranes.

Try making something with the recipient’s tastes in mind.

It’ll be even more appreciated if you include a message card along with the origami gift.

3D strawberry

[Origami] Super Easy! Cute ♡ Strawberry / by Tsuma♪

3D strawberry

Strawberries, with their sweet and refreshing tartness, are one of spring’s seasonal delights.

Their round, plump shape is adorable, too—let’s try expressing strawberries with origami.

Start by folding a triangle, then work through the finer steps to create a three-dimensional strawberry.

If you also make and attach the calyx with origami, it will look even more like a real strawberry.

Creating strawberry crafts can help older adults feel the season as well.

You can make lots and decorate a wall, or take them home to display.

[Origami] How to Fold a Bouquet (Origami Time)

Simple bouquet

Many flowers reach their best viewing season in spring.

It’s also a time when you’ll have more chances to see blossoms in parks and meadows.

Older adults may encounter flowers when they go for a walk, too.

Let’s make a bouquet out of origami that evokes those proudly blooming flowers.

Use origami paper in your favorite colors to fold the flowers for the bouquet.

Since many seniors love flowers, some may find themselves smiling as they create their pieces.

You can hang the finished bouquet on the wall, or take it home and display it there.

Poppy

[Craft Idea] Poppy Paper Craft (April–May) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service) (Origami DIY) (Creative)

Poppy

Poppies, which bloom from spring to summer, are also known as hinageshi or gubijinsō, and they produce colorful, round, and charming flowers.

This craft aims to create poppies that feel like the joy of spring, making them look three-dimensional as if they’re popping out from the backing paper.

You cut origami into petal shapes and assemble them into a flower, layering the pieces after making slits to give the flower a three-dimensional form.

Once the petal outline is done, place yellow in the center, and finally combine it so it looks like it’s blooming from the stem and leaf pieces attached to the backing paper, and you’re finished.
