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.

Summer events like festivals and the opening of beach season excite both adults and children, but when the peak of summer arrives, many older adults choose to stay indoors due to the intense heat.

In senior care facilities as well, people tend to spend more time inside.

Even in a cool indoor environment, why not try origami activities that evoke the feeling of summer? Folding motifs like yukata, fireworks, and shaved ice may bring back fond memories of summers past.

Enjoy a wonderful crafting time while sharing those delightful stories from long ago.

The “Morning Glory Hanging Decoration” is a summertime ornament for seniors that’s fun to look at and sways with a cool, breezy feel.

Attach origami morning glory flowers, leaves, and buds to twine or similar string, then connect several pieces vertically.

Create a base at the top by crossing bamboo skewers to hang it, and it’s done.

You can choose a single flower color or combine multiple colors—either way, the refreshing palette instantly heightens the summer mood.

The gently swaying decoration is pleasing to the eye and quickly transforms any spot where it’s hung into a seasonally themed space.

It’s a simple craft that lets you focus and have fun while moving your fingers.

When spending time in cool indoor environments, some older adults may not even realize it’s summer. With the summer-themed origami pieces introduced here, bring a refreshing touch of summer indoors.
