Create Your Own Donuts Together
Food-inspired art projects are great for encouraging conversation with loved ones who have dementia. If you are looking for an easy and enjoyable project to do, making some colorful and delicious-looking donuts together might be the perfect activity!
For this project you will need:
A piece of paper
Something round to trace (I used a roll of masking tape)
Pencil
Wax crayons
Markers
Ziplock bag
Paintbrush
Jar of water

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe, structured environment.
Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
