2018-11-13 07:46:28 PM heatherr I purchased feather dusters in bulk from dollar tree and got an 8inch sponge ball from s&s. Place the tables together making a lage square and place residents all the way around. Each resident gets a duster and well let the fun begin. The object is to keep the ball from rolling off the table. It get pretty intense. Our therapy department love when we play because residents are streching, bending, and twisting the reach or stop the ball and they dont even realize there working hard. It wonderful and they all love it.
