need senior craft ideas

07-23-2008, 07:29 PM #1 (**permalink**)

I need very simple craft ideas for my outreach programs at senior centers. They do not like anything but the simplest beading and the crafts cannot use glue guns or needle and thread. Most of my seniors have trouble seeing and handling anything that is small.

They have already decorated picture frames and I am having some of the groups make bookmarks in August.

Crafts have to be inexpensive since our library system has a limited budget for crafts this year. I am running out of ideas fast,

espically with the picky bunch I have to work with (said with much love, honest!)...

Crafting - easy/fun

How about having them make sun visors with fun foam, and decorating them with precut fun foam designs. Most of them are inexpensive and have self adhesive on them so it's easy to put something together that looks cute.
