A long-term project for the residents in the art class was making some giant fantasy flowers, inspired by the ones in the movie Oz the Great & Powerful.

Gluing Crystals

Ours were destined for the 9th birthday of the twin girls that spend a lot of time on the facility grounds. We made the flowers purple and pink because those are the girls’ favorite colors.

Dying Leaves

The day we had the party to give the gifts, it was too hot for the residents to go outside. So instead we had a game that could involve the residents inside while the twins ran around outside. Rather than just give them the flowers, it was turned into a treasure hunt.

Coloring Salt

The residents had half the clues. When the twins found an outside clue, it would say “X (resident)” has your next clue .The residents didn’t always remember where they kept the clue, so that was part of the hunt and everyone had great fun!
