2016-10-18 06:41:06 PM mtg1071 Fun craft: I cut a couple packs of orange napkins into strips and had the residents poke them down into a empty, dry water bottle. Spray painted the tops green, glued on googly eyes and felt jack o lantern noses and mouths...My residents like to brag on their crafts. I have one who loves to give her things to he favorite nurse or CNA of the day. Poking the strips into the bottle was good hand eye coordination work too
