[For Seniors] Day-service activities also recommended! Craft ideas for November

November, when autumn deepens and you can feel the chill in the air.

For many older adults, it’s a season when they spend less time outdoors going for walks.

So this time, we’re introducing craft activities with the theme of “11” that can be done indoors.

We’ve prepared projects featuring seasonal foods and flowers that are at their best in November.

They can be enjoyed as decorations on facility walls or taken home as interior decor.

There are also projects that can be used to play games after they’re made.

By all means, try the games together with the older adults.

Some older adults may find it difficult to sense the passage of time or the seasons.

Through November-themed crafts, let’s help them savor the season.

Daruma made from a milk carton

Milk carton darumas sound like so much fun! It’s great that you can make them with everyday materials.

Using tissue paper would make for colorful, unique darumas.

This craft seems like it could help older adults develop dexterity and concentration.

It also offers the joy of expressing creativity and making one’s own original daruma.

Once finished, you could hang them on the wall to enjoy the seasonal atmosphere.

It might be interesting to tweak the design and make zodiac-themed darumas, too.

It seems like something you could enjoy making together with older adults.

Preparation is simple, so it’s easy to get started.

I’m sure you’ll end up with wonderful creations!

In conclusion

They were all works that evoked November.

You can focus and work diligently on your own, or enjoy creating while communicating with others! Handicrafts stimulate the brain by using fine motor skills and thinking through the steps of making something.

It seems like creating pieces like these can also serve as good brain training! Please use this to help you make wonderful creations.
