Fireworks have a way of captivating people’s hearts, don’t they? When summer comes, many older adults probably feel like seeing fireworks, too.

Watching them can also bring back memories of going to festivals as a child.

Let’s enjoy reminiscing while doing a craft.

This time, we’ll introduce a fireworks craft made with yarn.

The materials are simple and safe, so it’s recommended.

Just punch holes in construction paper and thread yarn through them—done! By changing the colors of the yarn, you can create all kinds of fireworks.

Goldfish wall decorations, scribble drawing, paper plate fishbowl, uchiwa fan, summer craft ❤︎ How to make a goldfish paper craft/paints/scribble ❤︎ #799

Goldfish are likely familiar to many seniors who once kept them at home.

At summer festivals, you can almost always find a goldfish scooping booth.

Goldfish come in many varieties—red or black, slender-bodied or round.

So why not make goldfish decorations for your wall displays? If you create and put up goldfish in various colors and shapes, you can evoke the atmosphere of a goldfish bowl.

It might even make the wall feel a bit cooler and more refreshing.

Stylish sunflower hat

[Origami Summer] 'Sunflower Hat Summer Decoration' Wall Decor - origami DIY Paper Flower Sunflower Wall Hanging Craft Ideas Paper Craft

We’d like to introduce an idea for making a “stylish sunflower hat” using a paper cup, three colors of construction paper, and paper tape.

Use the paper cup as the flower’s center, shape the petals with the colored paper, and add delicate accents with the paper tape.

The result is a refined, three-dimensional sunflower that is simple yet not over-decorated.

You can choose where to display it to add a summery brightness and glamour, and the easy steps make it approachable.

It’s a gentle recreational activity that lets you enjoy the season while working with your hands.

Mini uchiwa with marble-painted patterns

[Super Easy] Mini Uchiwa Fan with Marble-Painted Patterns #DayService #DayCare #OutpatientRehab #ElderCare #Seniors #Crafts #Rec #Recreation

We’d like to introduce a summer-themed craft for seniors: “Mini Fans with Marble-Painted Patterns.” On postcard-sized drawing paper, roll marbles dipped in paint to create free-form designs.

Once dry, cut the paper into the shape of a fan.

Split a craft band to make the ribs for a sturdy finish.

All materials are easy to find and preparation is simple.

Participants can enjoy the excitement of seeing what patterns emerge by chance—“I wonder what design it will become?”—and the finished piece is fun to display or use.

It’s a recommended summer wall-display project that combines a refreshing feel with the joy of creating.

Yo-yo and Sunflower

Easy summer/July wall display craft! Add ○○ to paint to draw beautiful lines [Kindergarten/Preschool]

“Yo-Yo and Sunflowers” is a wall art project for seniors that captures the brightness and fun of summer.

For the sunflowers, cut origami paper into flower shapes and layer two pieces slightly offset to create a 3D effect.

Use construction paper to represent the seed-filled center.

For the yo-yos, draw circles on construction paper; once you load a brush with plenty of paint, you’re ready to go.

Swing the brush boldly toward the paper to create patterns.

Using two to three colors makes it lively and distinctly summery.

However, since paint can easily splatter during the yo-yo portion and cause messes, it’s important to protect the workspace—for example, by laying down newspaper.

Despite using simple materials, this project offers vibrant color and movement, making it perfect for summer wall decor.

Let's try making decorations for the summer festival. 🍉

The summer wall art project for seniors, “Summer Festival Decorations,” involves carefully crafting summer-themed motifs—such as fireworks, paper lanterns, shaved ice, watermelon, and mosquito coils—using origami and colored paper, then displaying them against a night-sky-inspired background to create a lively festival atmosphere.

The vivid colors stand out, and the finished wall display brightens the mood just by looking at it.

It’s an activity that allows seniors to focus while moving their hands and feet, making it approachable and enjoyable as a recreation that evokes the seasonal traditions of summer.

It’s a lovely piece that brings out summer memories and a strong sense of the season.
