Seasonal Crafts

Popcorn and fresh cranberries strung on dental floss with light
darning needles make wonderful strands of food for winter birds when
hung on trees outside senior’s windows. In preparation, tie a meter of
dental floss onto each of the needles and “store” them stuck into the
top back of a soft chair. Have popcorn and cranberries in large bowls,
something to cover the floor, and seat seniors in position so they can
help their younger friends. The cranberries are safe, but watch out
for popcorn nibblers!

Carving October pumpkins is an industrious IG activity. Parent helpers
are an asset in this activity. Remember to save those pumpkin seeds.
The resourceful elder buddies will be expecting to be munching them up
the following day after the seeds are cleaned and roasted! The seeds
can also be another resource for a craft activity.
