[For Seniors] Have Fun Making Things Based on Today’s Mood! Today’s Recommended Craft

A spinning top made from a milk carton

"牛乳パックでこまをつくろう" → "Let's make spinning tops from milk cartons!"

Making spinning tops out of milk cartons sounds so cute and fun.

It’s lovely to come up with original designs while working with your hands.

It’s great that older adults can create freely at their own pace, too.

Using the finished tops to hold a spinning-top contest together sounds exciting.

It’ll probably bring back memories and a sense of nostalgia.

I’m looking forward to seeing the wonderful creations the seniors will make.

Making them together should give everyone a time full of smiles.

[Craft Idea] Halloween Wreaths (October/Autumn) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Occupational Therapy/OT, Day Service, Childcare) (Origami) (Jack-o'-lanterns, Pine Cones, Acorns, Flowers)

Autumn is the perfect season to enjoy Halloween, isn’t it? How about making Halloween wreaths together with seniors? If you attach Halloween-themed motifs to a wreath base made of origami, you can easily create a lovely wreath! It’s fun to make motifs like bats, ghosts, and pumpkins out of origami.

The steps of cutting and rolling the paper help train fine motor skills and stimulate the brain, which can be effective for dementia prevention, too! Halloween is often thought of as a children’s event, but adults can certainly enjoy it as well.
