Heartwarming Winter Crafts for Seniors and Grandchildren to Enjoy Together
Nothing beats the joy of creating precious moments with your loved ones during the holiday season. Here at Mountain Plaza Assisted Living, we believe in fostering bonds between residents and their families. This winter, we’re focusing on fun, simple crafts for our seniors and their grandchildren to enjoy together. With our assisted living in Wyoming, we want to offer memorable activities that suit all ages.
Christmas Ornaments
These ornaments not only decorate your Christmas tree, but also serve as fun souvenirs of shared crafting moments. They’re simple to make using clear glass or plastic bulbs from a craft store, filled with small decorations like beads, sequins, or painted paper strips with handwritten holiday messages.
Greeting Cards
Nothing says ‘Christmas’ like sharing good wishes with our beloved ones. A simple holiday card decorated by a grandchild and grandparent together holds much sentimental value. You can use colored paper, markers, and holiday themed stickers for a cheer-filled craft session.
Cotton Ball Snowmen
This easy craft idea involves minimal materials – cotton balls, fabric scraps, craft glue, and colored paint. This activity is a great way to keep little hands busy while sparking heartwarming conversations and laughter.
Paper Chain Holiday Garlands
Just take colorful strips of paper, link them together, and you have a festive decoration. This activity promotes fine motor skills for our seniors, and counting skills for the little ones.
Participating in these crafts encourages our seniors to share their creativity and experiences with the younger generation. It also provides an avenue for the grandchildren to express their love and care for their grandparents.
Here at Mountain Plaza Assisted Living in Wyoming, we prioritize providing enriching, enjoyable experiences for our residents and their visitors with intergenerational bonding activities, ensuring everyone feels part of our ever-growing family.
These winter crafts are just a few examples of how we envision the holiday season for our seniors and their dear ones – full of fun, love, warmth and wonderful memories at our assisted living in Wyoming. Join us to experience this wonderful season of joy and shared creativity!
