    Default any senior craft ideas?

    I'm a Camp Fire leader and my group (ages 6 -9) is needing some ideas of some crafts to do with some seniors that live in a Residential Care facility. We generally decorate their dining room on holidays, but thought it might be a great idea to get the residents involved and did a craft with them. Something that is simple and doesn't take a lot of time, but any ideas would be great.

    Well, this one takes a little time but the troop can make it go fast. How about taking magazines like readers digest and folding the pages to the inside to form a peak at the top. When you have folded down each page and tape the covers together, it looks like a tree. lol, well sorta. You could take each tree outside and spray a quick coat of green paint and sprinkle glitter on them.

    We used to do this with our grandma when we were young and loved the time together.
