[For Seniors] Enjoy July! Easy and Fun Snack Activities

July is the season when it gets hotter and hotter, isn’t it?

Older adults may also crave something cool to eat when hot days continue.

In summer, many people lose their appetite but can still eat sweets, don’t you think?

Also, since July includes events like Tanabata, Pear Day, and summer festivals, it’s a great idea to make snacks that match these occasions.

In this article, we’ll introduce easy snack activity ideas recommended for July.

We’ve put together a wide range—from nostalgic treats you might remember from food stalls to snacks that may feel new and unusual for older adults.

If you’re struggling to come up with snack activities, be sure to use this as a reference!

In snack-making activities with seniors, it’s important to choose something everyone can easily make together.

There may also be concerns about fires or burns.

But with jelly, there’s no need for heat—just dissolve and set—so it’s safe for older adults.

Experiencing the joy of making and eating something by themselves can spark a positive motivation to think, “What shall we make next?”
