Painting together is always fun!

Add some Christmas reminiscing. What are your favorite Christmas songs?

Set the scene by playing some popular Christmas music in the background.

Make it a social occasion and chat about Christmases past.

Early and middle-stage memory care/dementia.

Supply materials and explain how to use/mix paints. Be on hand to offer support if needed.

If a person is reluctant to participate, leaving a brush and page in front of them can often lead to the person picking it up and engaging after watching others paint.

Late-stage memory care/dementia.

This is an excellent activity as a passive observer if the person cannot participate actively.
