Coloring – Birds

Try Drawing Your Own Birds Too!

Supply List:

  • Printed image
  • Brush
  • Paints (or coloring pens/markers)
  • Water for cleaning brushes

Directions for Caregivers:

These birds may not look like the ones in your garden. Have fun making them your own.

Painting is an excellent group activity.

Get creative with colors and try mixing different ones to get new shades.

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 take part, leaving a brush and page in front of them can often lead to the person picking it up and engaging after a while of watching others paint.

Are there many birds around where you live? What types are there?
