When it comes to crafts, my residents are big fans! Here are a couple of fun and budget-friendly projects we’ve done recently:
We decorated sea shells. My kids and I collected the shells during a beach day, and the residents brought them to life using tissue paper and Mod Podge from Dollar Tree. The entire craft cost under $10! Many of the residents use their decorated sea shells as little jewelry holders on their bureau, both functional and beautiful!
Another project we did was personalized postcards. I picked up supplies from Hobby Lobby when they had their 40% off paper sale, along with plain brown and white cards. I drew lines on the back for the residents to write a friend or family member’s address and a short note. We used clear plastic sleeves to protect their beautiful creations, making sure they could be displayed while keeping them safe. This project was also super affordable and residents loved the feedback from their loved ones.
