2017-05-02 06:30:28 PM aleda we have a sensory garden a swell
2017-05-02 06:30:30 PM tacarra0 Kathy i biggest problem is keeping the residents interested at times
2017-05-02 06:30:39 PM kbertocci We do the sand one, as well. If you have residents with frail skin, be sure nothing is sharp. One resident accidently cut her hand on a seasheel :/ Thankfully she was ok. It wasn't extremely sharp, just the way she approached it in finding the item. We try for round edged items now
2017-05-02 06:30:45 PM tacarra0 My sorry
2017-05-02 06:30:46 PM 8800971 I DID BABY DOLL SHOES , SMALL PLASTIC TOYS NOT TOO SMALL

2017-05-02 06:31:13 PM kathyhughes It can be a challenge...but if the have familiar items and activities they are used to in their past they will engage
2017-05-02 06:31:14 PM amberparker You could also do "Ocean in a Bottle!" Gather an empty 2 liter, add 1/2 vegetable oil, 1/2 H2O , blue or green food coloring! One of my old Kindergarten science funerscises!
