Want to get leid?



I bet this title got your attention. Well May 1 is May Day but in Hawaii it is Lei Day.

Lei Day has an easy to do craft for those with dementia. The craft is making leis.

There is something for someone with almost every level of dementia, to do.

First you need to have strips of approximately 1×10 inches of paper. However the demensions are far from exact. I like to use tissue paper, but any thin paper or material will do.

Therefore, you can have one group making long strips of paper. This is a good activity for a lower functioning group. If group members have trouble making the strips then…..

Come back tomorrow to find out this and more


Watch this movie before and after making the leis

    I didn’t know that May 1 was Lei day. What a fun and happy way to spend the day. I better get busy with my posts about special May holidays.
