We conducted an art and craft session with the residents using newspaper/crepe/recycled paper and crayons . They cut newspaper and leaves and drew and coloured roses. The activity planned has helped them in comprehension,finger and hand dexterity, and listening and talking skills.They are comfortable talking to us and recognize me now inquiring about my well being and family. They respond well when complimented often. There is a marked improvement in many of them as they are able to follow instructions and are keen to do and learn something new.
13 residents joined in for the session and they did some cutting, colouring and sticking .Some even wrote their name on the paper and we had a lovely conversation as we were doing our activity on what they would like to do. They wanted to sing , dance, and do some yoga too and Konkani and hindi numbers are their favorite .
