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

table clock

[DIY] Let's make a desk clock with a handmade clock kit! How to make the original clock. [Handmade]

Why not try making a handy tabletop clock together with older adults as a recreational activity? If you use a DIY clock kit from a 100-yen shop, preparing the materials is easy.

You can also prepare a photo frame separately from the kit to create a lovely clock that stands upright.

Since you’ll need to make a hole in the photo frame, wooden ones are recommended.

Some older men are quite skilled at crafts, and this project can spark creativity—using an awl to make holes, cutting out the backing paper, and more.

Of course, be sure to provide support tailored to each person’s needs while making it together.

Kagami-mochi memo stand

Senior-friendly simple craft kit for winter: Make a clay kagami mochi memo stand [Fun Craft Time]

Let us introduce a Kagami-mochi memo stand kit that’s perfect for the New Year season.

Since it’s practical, it seems like something elderly men would also enjoy making.

Use the special clay to form the kagami-mochi, and try crafting a decorative mandarin orange to place on top.

For the mandarin, you’ll first color the clay with a pen and then shape it.

You can also make pine needles and yuzuriha leaves to add a touch of green to the kagami-mochi.

Once the kagami-mochi is formed from clay, insert the memo stand from the center.

It would be nice to display photos of fun moments at the facility on the finished, dried piece.

Welcoming the New Year in a room decorated with something you made yourself is wonderful.
