Perc Up

To celebrate the anniversary of percolated coffee, we chatted about our favorite brewed drinks and did a coffee taste test. Can you tell the difference between maxwell house and starbucks?

Ain't No Mountain

We did our morning walk to the tune of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and similar music. Then in the afternoon we produced mountain paintings using painters tape. Who doesn't love mountains?

Put a Different Spin on It

 We used a lazy susan to make spin art on put a spin on it day. We talked about homespun gifts and played BINGO a different way than we normally do.

Tree Weaving

Weaving is believing.

If you can tape strips of paper to two sides of a sheet, you can weave.

And once you weave, if you can tape down the overlap, you can cut into another shape of your choice.

We choose to make green trees for the season.

The patients were quite impressed with themselves.

Dotted Leaves

The patients used dot markers in a variety of ways to design leaves.

Fold it and Fly it Day

The patients took fold it and fly it day very seriously. We folded our paper airplanes, then lined up for a competition. Some patients improved the standard design. The best part, to me, was that we used paper that was going to be thrown out by another department.

Sagittarius

When the sign of the Sagittarius began, we celebrated with a target toss. We talked about the traits of those born during this zodiac month. Patients chatted about archery. In the afternoon, we had an arrow social with decorated straws.
