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.

We’re introducing crafts and wall decoration ideas that are perfect for May and capture the spirit of the season.

With cherry blossom season over, this is packed with recommendations for anyone struggling with May wall display ideas.

We also feature plenty of craft ideas related to Children’s Day, so if you’d like to make a gift for your grandchild, please take a look.

Even if they seem difficult, many of these ideas are actually simple—just cutting and pasting.

We hope you’ll give these easy crafts and wall decorations a try—they’re great for older adults to enjoy casually, too.

Hanko Calendar

2021 Calendar #2: A Calendar Made with Stamps (April, May, June Edition) OKAPI CRAFT HOBBY

Let me introduce a stamp calendar that brings a sense of everyday life.

First, prepare a base calendar where the dates are clearly visible at a glance.

For the stamps, I recommend seasonal illustration stamps.

If you also have bright stamp ink colors, you might be able to create a more vibrant calendar.

Make sure to leave enough space on the calendar so there’s room to place your stamps.

It’s also a great idea to add stickers or tear pieces of washi origami paper and paste them on.

Once it’s finished, decorate your room with it and enjoy!

Koinobori everyone can freely draw together

[Koinobori] “Recommendation for Drawing Koinobori” — Craft, Painting, Wall Decorations, Preschool Crafts, Elderly Care Recreation #Koinobori

Koinobori everyone can freely draw together

Instead of cutting thick paper or doing origami, how about freely drawing carp streamers? Using a brush helps exercise your fingertips and can even serve as brain training.

Feel free to choose any method or style you like! Brushes make it easy to vary pressure, so take advantage of that to draw scales and fins.

If you have plenty of space to work, preparing a large sheet of paper might be a good idea.

As you draw, you might find the ideas keep coming—“Let’s make it look like more are swimming,” or “Let’s focus on the background,” and so on!

Making a Yamabuki calendar

Day Service Konosu: Cherished Koubouan – May Calendar Production

Making a Yamabuki calendar

Yamabuki, with its distinctive orange-tinged yellow flowers, can sometimes be seen along mountains and rivers from April to May.

This time, we’re introducing a calendar featuring yamabuki as the theme.

Make yamabuki flowers out of origami or construction paper and attach them to the calendar.

It’s also a great idea to craft butterflies and bees to go along with it.

The finished calendar should give older adults a sense of accomplishment from having created something themselves.

In addition, making the calendar offers a chance to think about the seasons and the dates while working on the project.

Making a calendar with a carnation stamp

[Eraser stamp] Making a May calendar with a carnation stamp 💕 Great for Mother’s Day too 👍

Making a calendar with a carnation stamp

Let’s try making a calendar using a carnation rubber stamp carved from an eraser.

Eraser stamps are made by carving an eraser, and you can create a calendar with a unique, handcrafted charm that’s different from store-bought stamps.

A carnation stamp that evokes Mother’s Day can help older adults feel the season.

Of course, you could also make a calendar with stamps themed around May, such as the 88th Night (Hachiju-hachiya) or carp streamers (koinobori).

Eraser stamps don’t require much force and are easy to carve, so older adults should find the project approachable.

Teddy Bear Carnation

For Mother's Day! I tried making a little bear with carnations ♡ #flowerpaper #tissuepaperflowers #preschoolcrafts #occupationaltherapy

Teddy Bear Carnation

Introducing an adorable bear-shaped carnation decoration.

Prepare tissue paper, a straw, masking tape, glue, and construction paper to get started.

Using red tissue paper, make two large carnations and three small carnations, then glue them together in the shape of a bear’s face.

Wrap green masking tape around the straw and attach two leaves made from construction paper.

Glue the bear face to the prepared straw.

Soak black tissue paper in water, roll it into small balls, and attach them with glue as the bear’s nose and eyes, adjusting for overall balance.

Let it dry, and you’re done.
