How soon do you need to have this program? I could send you the newspaper article? Our staff here did a lot of prep work for it including: buying the fabric, sewing the fabric, making some samples to show kids, but it was all worth it to see the kids faces!! Let me know if you want me to send the article. Thanks, Sara On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 2:06 PM, Rebecca Dunkle <rdunkle@umich.edu> wrote:
hi Sara
any way for us to learn more about this class without having to put in a subscription for the newspaper? Thanks.

Hello,
We did an arts and crafts program this summer for children and teens that could very easily be applied for seniors. It was called - DreamFlags.
And the participants made dream flag... what do you dream about? Whether it is ice cream or world peace.

It was well attended and the kids (and some adults) and the comments are really positive. Additionally we made all of the kids create one to display in the library.
Good Luck!!

We've been asked by a local adult care facility if we could come once each month to lead a craft or other program. About 80% of their residents have Dementia. There would be some supervision by staff, but I need program ideas that are appropriate.
Do any of you lead programs in adult care facilities and/or for dementia sufferers?
