🍂🦔 Autumn has arrived! 🦔🍂
Now that the warmer weather seems to have disappeared, our residents have been getting creative with some lovely autumn-themed crafts! 🍁
They’ve been collecting fallen leaves and using colourful tissue paper to make their very own hedgehogs — and they’ve been a big hit! 😊
Craft activities like this are a great way to encourage creativity, conversation and social interaction, while also supporting fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
For those living with dementia, activities like these can provide meaningful engagement, stimulate the senses, encourage memories and give a wonderful sense of achievement. ❤️
Most importantly, we’ve had lots of fun creating them together! 🦔🍂
