Persimmon Pudding

Simple and delicious! Persimmon pudding made with just 3 ingredients #shorts

This works even for a large group! Please try this very simple recipe for “Persimmon Pudding.” First, cut off the persimmon’s stem end, scoop out the flesh, and make a persimmon cup.

Put the scooped-out flesh into a blender, add milk and sugar, and blend until smooth.

Then pour it back into the persimmon cups, chill in the refrigerator until set, and it’s done! Easy, right? It’s also great that you only need three ingredients.

While it’s chilling, pass the time chatting or doing some sewing, and then enjoy a lovely snack time afterward.

Chestnut Picking Game

Autumn Delicacy: “Chestnut Gathering Game”

For anyone who’s gone chestnut gathering, how about a nostalgic, autumn-themed recreation? First, prepare plenty of plastic bottle caps with pictures of chestnuts and acorns attached.

Using small tongs and baskets you can buy at a dollar store, compete to see how many chestnuts you can collect within a time limit.

Overcome obstacles like some caps being face down or confusing acorns mixed in, and try to gather as many chestnuts as you can.

You can enjoy it in different formats, such as competing by table or against the person sitting across from you.

Exquisite Apple Cake

Ready in 5 minutes! Super easy in the microwave! A delicious apple cake with just 4 ingredients! Apple cake

Let me share a simple cake recipe using apples, a delicious taste of autumn.

First, let’s make the batter.

All you do is mix eggs, pancake mix, and milk together in that order until smooth—super easy, right? Next, peel the apples and slice them thinly, about 2–3 mm.

Transfer the slices to a heatproof dish, pour the batter you just made over them, and spread it so it coats everything evenly.

Once the batter has soaked into the apples a bit and the surface looks level, you’re good to go.

Finally, microwave at 600W for 5 minutes, and it’s done! It can crumble easily if you cut it while it’s hot, so be sure to chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving.

Long-Term Care Insurance Quiz

The structure of long-term care insurance and various services (1): “How the long-term care insurance system works and how to use it.”

As we get older, we tend to think more about long-term care insurance.

Since we’re also more likely to use it in practice, it’s important to have a solid understanding of how the system works.

With that in mind, how about trying a quiz on long-term care insurance as a recreational activity? If you have the chance, invite family members to join and deepen everyone’s knowledge together.

Write a letter

Make picture letters with Japanese fabric! No. 1. Perfect for day-service recreation and seasonal crafts.

There’s a phrase in Japanese that goes “Autumn is the season for art.” Perfect for autumn crafts, here’s a doubly delightful project that’s fun to make and sure to please as a gift: “e-tegami,” or illustrated postcards! Let’s give it an autumnal touch by using Japanese-style fabrics as motifs and turning them into postcard art.

The method is simple.

First, prepare a template, then place it on fabric that you’ve pre-backed with double-sided tape and cut along the template.

That way, the fabric turns into stickers.

It feels like doing a collage, doesn’t it? You can also use leftover fabric scraps you have at home, so be sure to put them to good use and give this a try!

1st Stick Soccer Tournament

As we get older, even if we want to exercise, it becomes hard to run around to our heart’s content.

Sports that involve lots of running outdoors, like soccer or baseball, can be challenging.

But with a bit of creativity, you can still enjoy the same feeling! With this stick soccer game, you imagine the stick as your legs and move it with your hands to control the ball and aim for the goal.

You can even play while seated, so it’s highly recommended.

Fishing game

[Yūyū-kyo] Day Service: Fish-Catching Game

For older adults, it can sometimes be difficult to go outside for recreational activities.

In such cases, a recommended indoor activity is a homemade fishing game.

In this game, you draw fish on paper, attach paper clips, and use a magnet at the end of a fishing line to catch them.

Mixing in high-end fish or unusual deep-sea fish that people don’t usually see can make it even more exciting! Since it’s a seated activity, it’s easy for older adults to enjoy.
