Good craft activity for lower functioning residents. 

Date: 2000, Sep 29

Christmas Craft: Take a clear irrodescent christmas ball and remove the top. Squirt 2-3 colors of acrylic paint into the ball. The resident can tip the ball all around until the entire inside of the ball is painted. Turn ball upside down in a small cup to drain. These take 3 days to dry. When dry replace top and add shiny gold ribbon. You will be surprised how different each turns out. We have also used clear glass vases to decorate the dining tables, and tied ribbon around the neck of the vase and inserted flowers. Good color combinations, white & gold, red & white, green & white, Green gold and white, etc. Good Luck.
