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.

lily of the valley

[Craft Idea] Lily of the Valley (April–May, spring) (Wall decorations, senior recreation, occupational therapy OT, day service) (Three-dimensional flower craft) (Easy craft, origami DIY, creative)

lily of the valley

Lily of the valley blooms around April to May and is strongly associated with heralding the arrival of spring.

In this project, we’ll recreate this quintessential spring flower with origami, making the bell-shaped blossoms in three dimensions.

First, cut white origami paper into a flat shape like spread petals, then attach it to a long, rolled stem piece.

From there, overlap and adjust each petal to form the bell shape.

Once the flower components are complete, attach them to a backing sheet decorated with leaves and other parts to finish.

Aim for a design where the flowers appear to pop out.

Onions and asparagus

#12 Torn-paper collage of onions and asparagus

Onions and asparagus

Onions and asparagus, with their distinctive looks, make perfect motifs for torn-paper collage! The combination of brownish onions and green asparagus creates a natural, stylish vibe.

To express the wrinkled onion skin, the trick is to apply plenty of glue and stick the paper down while scrunching it to form creases.

For asparagus, adding purplish tones in addition to green elevates the look.

Using newspapers or ads gives the piece even more character, so give it a try!

Tulip wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip Wreath

Tulip wreath

Tulips are one of the flowers that color the spring season, and their rich variety of hues conveys the excitement of spring.

This is a wreath that captures that springtime joy by arranging colorful tulips on a circular base.

It’s recommended to make the wreath base in green to evoke leaves; create triangular pieces and insert adjacent pieces into the gaps to form a circle.

Then just add tulips and other decorations to the base to finish.

To make the tulips really stand out, it’s important to use folds to give them a three-dimensional look.

[Easy] How to make spring-colored tulips and butterflies 💐 Spring wall decorations [3D origami] Also great for graduation and school entrance ceremonies 🌸 DIY How to make paper tulips. Origami. Paper flower

Tulip field and butterflies

Tulips are one of the flowers that represent spring.

Many older adults probably think of tulips when they think of spring flowers.

So let’s make lots of origami tulips and decorate an entire wall.

Cut two sheets of origami paper roughly in half, then fold each piece in half again.

Cut them into petal shapes and glue them together.

Tulips come in many colors, so try making them in the colors your seniors prefer.

Attach the stems and leaves you’ve made to the tulip flowers to complete them.

If you also make butterflies out of origami and add them, it will enhance the spring atmosphere.

It’s a wall decoration that seems to convey the warmth of spring.

Rose wall hanging

How to make rose flowers and leaves #dayservice #daycare #daycareforolderadults #dayrehab #caregiving #olderadults #easycrafts #craftactivity #rose #rollingcoloredpaper

Rose wall hanging

We’d like to introduce an original rose wall decoration made by rolling paper.

Prepare colored paper for the flowers and leaves.

For the flower, take a strip of colored paper cut thinly: randomly pleat (accordion-fold) two-thirds of the strip, leaving the remaining one-third unpleated.

Starting from the unpleated end, roll the paper; when you finish rolling, glue the end to secure it, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, similarly roll thin strips of colored paper from one end, glue to secure, then pinch and shape them with your fingers.

For the stem, cut a long, narrow strip and lightly roll it to add a gentle curve.

Arrange and glue the flowers, stems, and leaves onto your choice of backing or base, balancing the layout, and you’re done in no time! Since there are no difficult steps, this craft can also be used as finger dexterity training in senior care facilities.

A child wearing a raincoat

Origami [Child Wearing a Raincoat]

A child wearing a raincoat

During the rainy season, we tend to stay indoors more and go out less.

But it all depends on how you look at it.

Instead of thinking you can’t go out, why not see it as a great chance to enjoy time at home? This time, we’re introducing an origami idea: a “child in a raincoat.” You’ll use two colors of origami paper, which means lots of finger movement.

Some steps are a bit complex, but that makes it a good stimulus for the brain, so you can expect brain-training benefits too.

Once finished, the piece can also be used as a finger puppet.

A pond where water lilies bloom

Super easy: A pond with blooming water lilies #easyYetStriking #mural #dayService #dayCare #outpatientRehab #elderCare #seniors #craft #recreation

A pond where water lilies bloom

We’d like to introduce a wall display featuring a pond of water lilies—perfect for June—where the blossoms look beautiful floating on the surface.

Let’s make the flowers by layering tissue paper.

Fold yellow tissue paper, cut slits into it, then roll it into a tube to create the flower’s center.

Attach the center to the water lily flower, and it’s done.

It’s also great to glue the lilies onto a large sheet of light blue poster paper and cut green construction paper to make leaves.

Create this lovely, June-themed wall display! Once it’s finished, decorating your entryway or a room will add a bright, festive touch.
