Remember “Dad” With This Project (FREE Printout)

Описание: This project offers a gentle nod to Father’s Day in a fun and colourful way. It can be a great chance to reminisce about your loved one’s father or even your loved one themselves (maybe they have a style of dress that is unique to them)

In this video, I provide two options on how to approach this project. Use your loved one’s skills and abilities to gauge which option you’d like to use. One option focuses on colouring (or painting if you’d prefer), and the second option focuses on cutting with scissors. The goal is to use (and hopefully preserve) the fine motor skills that your loved one still possesses.

For this project you will need the two free templates

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe environment.

Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
