Pastel Art: Water Balloons

[Template 03] Let's Draw Water Balloons – Pastel Art | Seniors & Care Facilities | Recreation

In July, as summer gradually hits its stride, you can’t help but crave something cool to take the edge off the heat.

This piece suggests drawing water balloons with pastels—something that feels refreshing while still capturing quintessential summer scenes like festivals.

Cut paper into the shapes you want, layer them over a backing sheet, and apply shaved pastel over the cutouts to create a soft, gentle-colored illustration.

The key is to use bright colors for the water balloons and cool, blue-based tones for the background to evoke a sense of coolness.

Wind chime sun catcher

Suncatchers that sparkle in the sunlight create tiny rainbows and reflections around the room, lifting your spirits.

The visual stimulation can also help prevent depression and reduce stress.

Let’s try making a suncatcher by hand! Prepare tissue paper and cut it into circular shapes.

Attach them to a template shaped like a wind chime.

Make a small strip (tanzaku) from origami paper and stick it to the wind chime, and you’re done in no time.

If you add a bell with a subtle touch, it will create a pleasant, soothing effect.

sunflower wall decoration

[Elderly Recreation] Sunflower Wall Decoration [Easy]

Sunflowers are one of the flowers that symbolize summer, aren’t they? Seeing sunflowers blooming on a hot day can make you feel energized.

Let’s make a wall decoration with a sunflower motif.

Using crinkled crepe sheets to create the sunflowers gives the piece a nice textured look.

Fold and cut the crepe sheets to make the sunflower petals.

We’ll form the center by crumpling tissue paper, and here’s a fun method: put the crumpled tissue paper into a plastic bottle cap for the center, or press the tissue crumpled with the cap.

This leaves a round imprint on the tissue, adding a nice accent to the sunflower’s center.

Glue the sunflower onto a backing sheet, place it on a stand made from a disposable chopstick, and it’s complete.

It’s a lovely piece that seniors can take home and display in their homes.
