Design Your Own Artsy Sandals / Art Making Project for Seniors with Dementia
Design and decorate your own pair of sandals. This project is fairly simple for your loved one with dementia to make. Essentially they are just coloring in the sandal part. They may need some of your help to add the straps.
For this project you will need:
Flip flops template: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T57E...

Scissors
Glue stick

* 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.
