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.

I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

Among the older adults who attend day service centers, there are people with a variety of physical conditions.

Many of them also look forward to recreational activities.

This time, we’re introducing “Recommended June Craft Activities for Day Service.”

We’ve gathered ideas that use classic motifs related to rain, such as hydrangeas and snails.

Doing crafts also serves as fine-motor rehabilitation, so it’s recommended for older adults.

Be sure to enjoy not only the finished product but also the process of making it.

Stained glass-style snail

Stained-glass-style snails are great for craft activities at day service centers.

They’re adorable and soothing to look at, and they also make stylish interior decorations.

With materials like colored cellophane, plastic cups, and chenille stems (pipe cleaners), they’re easy to make.

Creating the snail’s face can really spark seniors’ creative spirit.

You can make a cute face or try a funny one.

The result is a beautiful snail that looks like stained glass.

It would also make a lovely gift for grandchildren.

In conclusion

We introduced recommended June craft activities for day service programs.

Please choose crafts that match the physical and mental conditions of the older adults attending and give them a try.

All of these crafts can be easily made with items from 100-yen shops or things you already have at home, so they’re great even for beginners.

Using rainy-season motifs like frogs, umbrellas, and hydrangeas gives them a perfect seasonal feel.

Be sure to enjoy conversations together as you complete the crafts.
