scarecrow
A scarecrow that protects the fields is one of those motifs that really evokes autumn, isn’t it? It’s also recommended for anyone looking for autumn-themed wall decorations for their home or for senior care facilities! All you need is colored paper and copy paper.
Use your favorite Japanese-patterned paper for the scarecrow’s kimono to create the right atmosphere.
You can crumple the colored paper for the scarecrow’s hat to bring out the texture of the material.
There are many small, detailed steps, but take your time and keep at it.
Adding rice plants, crows, and the sun in the background will create an even more realistic rural scene.
ball toss (traditional Japanese beanbag/ball-throwing game)
October often brings clear skies—it’s the perfect season for sports festivals! If you’re looking for a fun autumn wall decoration, we recommend “Tamaire” (ball-toss).
It’s an ideal craft for recreation in senior care facilities, so please use this as a reference.
Make the ball basket realistically with a plastic bag so it can actually catch the balls.
For the throwing hands, you can trace your own hands or participants’ hands to enjoy the crafting process.
Finish by hanging international flags to boost the sports-festival atmosphere even more!
Spider
How about making a spider out of a single sheet of origami for a Halloween wall decoration? All you need is a 15 cm × 15 cm sheet of origami paper, a pen, and scissors, and it’s easy to make! Origami is perfect for recreational activities at senior facilities too, so be sure to use this video as a reference.
The spider’s legs might be a little tricky, but give it a try! Drawing your favorite face with eyes and a mouth, or making a spider web to display together, will make the wall even more festive.
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for wall decorations recommended for October for seniors—what did you think? There were lots of cheerful decorations to match the events held in October.
Of course, enjoying the events themselves is important, but by preparing together from the planning stage, each event becomes even more enjoyable!
