[For Seniors] Enjoy June! Introducing Simple, Recommended Wall Decorations
June often brings a stretch of rain and a damp, muggy feel.
The rain is a blessing, but it can make this season uncomfortable, especially for older adults.
How about brightening up gloomy June days with some wall decorations for a refreshing change of mood?
Here are some recommended wall decoration ideas for June.
Hydrangeas, bellflowers, and gardenias come into their prime with refreshing colors, and frogs and snails also evoke the rainy season.
Wall decorations with a Father’s Day theme may even bring back fond memories for some people.
It’s lovely to make something to decorate your own room or to give as a gift, but creating a single piece together with everyone is also highly recommended.
Enjoy June with a touch of creativity.

Morning-after frame
We all want seniors who find it difficult to go out to be able to enjoy beautiful flowers, don’t we? This time, we’re introducing a frame decorated with origami morning glories.
It’s a simple craft: just attach origami morning glories to an origami frame.
We hope this lovely piece will give viewers the feeling of having admired real flowers! Morning glories are often associated with “summer,” but they bloom from the rainy season through around November.
Through this activity, even seniors who find it hard to sense the changing seasons may be able to feel them—and the conversation about their blooming period is sure to be lively.
A simple three-dimensional morning glory
This is a morning glory made from a single sheet of origami, cleverly using reverse folds and other techniques to create a three-dimensional, soft appearance.
Not only does it look good from the front, but the base is also shaped solidly like a real flower, making it easy to incorporate into decorations.
You cut the edge of the folded paper, then unfold it and fold it again while making use of the white on the back.
Because there are many fine reverse folds, the whole piece tends to wrinkle, but intentionally adding wrinkles is also recommended to achieve a softer-looking morning glory.
Teru-teru bozu from the 100-yen shop
Drizzling rain can easily dampen our spirits, can’t it? Even among older adults, some may find themselves thinking, “I hope it stops soon,” even though rain is a blessing.
Why not make a cute teru teru bozu to blow away those negative feelings? You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, and you can even substitute the filling with a ball of cotton or tissues.
If you draw eyes with a marker, you can change its expression, making each teru teru bozu unique.
It’s also a great craft activity for seniors!
Lyric decorations with a June motif
Why not create wall decorations using lyrics from songs with a June theme? By displaying the lyrics of “Kaeru no Gasshō” (The Frog Chorus), older adults can recall memories of singing it themselves or hearing their children or grandchildren sing it.
This serves as brain training and is effective for preventing dementia.
You can also enjoy singing the song with the displayed lyrics as a recreation activity.
Singing helps relieve stress, increases physical activity, strengthens muscles, and can help prevent aspiration.
Keeping rhythm and reading lyrics also provide positive stimulation for the brain.
Let’s decorate around the lyrics with June-themed items like hydrangeas and snails so that older adults can feel the season.
frog
Cute frogs that appear during the rainy season.
Enjoying the sense of the season can be stimulating for older adults as well, so they’re a recommended motif for June wall decorations.
Try expressing their distinctive green bodies with colored construction paper or origami paper.
It’s fine to go for a realistic look or an illustration style.
Mixing in not only green, but also yellow-green frogs will make the wall livelier! Adding umbrellas and raindrops can further brighten up the display.
Give it a try.
