Help your residents celebrate spring and some of its observances, like the First Day of Spring on March 20th, National Flower Day of March 21st, and Mother\u2019s Day on May 10th, using fun activities that feature flowers. Invite residents to participate in fun flower crafts, flower games, and flower art.<\/p>\n

Flower Crafts<\/h2>\n

Painting Flower Pots <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Provide residents with plastic flower pots<\/a><\/strong> that they can paint and decorate before filling with flowers or a plant for their room.<\/p>\n

Flower Chimes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Invite residents to color flower chimes<\/strong><\/a> and other spring chimes to hang outdoors. First, have residents paint their wooden shape before threading the cording through the wind chimes and attaching it to the wooden shape. Hang the finished chimes near your windows so that residents can enjoy the sounds this spring.<\/p>\n

Flower Games<\/h2>\n

Blind Jigsaw<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Invite residents to play a blind jigsaw puzzle game, in which pairs of residents work together to try to assemble a flower jigsaw puzzle<\/strong><\/a> without looking at the picture first.<\/p>\n

Flower Match<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a fun one-on-one activity, help a resident improve their matching skills as they use the magnetic flower pieces<\/strong><\/a> to replicate the group of four flowers on their card. In addition, use this game as a fun competitive activity as you time each resident to see how long it takes them to use the pieces to replicate the four flowers on their card.<\/p>\n

Flower Art<\/h2>\n

Paint by Sticker<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Show residents how to assemble paint-by-sticker art<\/strong><\/a>, in which residents peel stickers and place them in the correct place on their sticker sheet. Once the sticker sheets have been filled, hang the finished artwork on your Activity Room wall.<\/p>\n

Flower Painting<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take residents outdoors to the back patio to plant the flowers that they see onto their canvas<\/strong><\/a>. For the activity, set objects on the patio tables that residents can lean their canvases on as they paint. Then supply residents with colorful paints to paint one of the flowers that they see in the backyard.<\/p>\n
