You can pick up pinecones that have fallen to the ground all year round, right?

You’ve probably often seen them lying around in parks with pine trees.

Why not try a craft activity using familiar pinecones at your facility? It keeps material costs down, and with a bit of creativity, you can make plenty of different pieces.

So this time, we’re introducing a collection of pinecone craft ideas for older adults.

Craft activities use the fingertips a lot and stimulate the brain, helping to prevent dementia or slow its progression.

Pinecones are familiar to many seniors and may bring back past memories or moments with their children.

Please make these together while staying close and supportive to the older adults.

Hero Owl

[Fun Craft] I tried making an owl with pine cones

Hero Owl

If you want to make an owl that’s a little different from the usual, how about this hero-inspired idea? Use a pine cone as the base.

Cut the face and wing parts out of felt, but add a twist! Instead of using ordinary brown felt, imagine a hero’s decorations and craft the pieces with armor- and shield-like designs.

Even the cute eyes can take on a cool, raptor-like look by adding just one extra piece.

Finish it as your ideal hero owl.
