You can even purchase the cotton glitter cloth already made up at Walmart and craft stores
and winter miniatures to let residents make their own small winter/Christmas activity village.
Or you could purchase one large board and let it be an all resident project.
If possible do both projects and line your walls and tables with all your
winter scenes as decoration. Put a sign at your entrance

for your residents project. Promise them you will give pictures of the residents creations
for them to display in their store. Plus pictures of your residents working on their scenes.

Flat tire pit stop lose 1 turn
I then covered our track with clear contact paper.

Some of the residents even keep their cars in their
room and bring them race day.
You can even make a standable finish line using dowel rods & styrofoam
Just roll dice to see who goes 1st and the race is on.
We had a large table so while others waited to race
they sat around the table and helped move the cars to the finish line.
Of course the winner gets in on the next race.
I have also made Horse Races, Boat Races Etc. It's a gentlemen's favorite.

19th-Oatmeal Muffin Day
Oatmeal Muffin Recipe
Honay Oatmeal Facial Recipe
Raspberry Oatmeal Hand Cream
1/2 cup distilled water
1/8 tsp. borax
1/3 cup sweet almond oil
1 T. liquid lanolin
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 T. beeswax
15 drops raspberry fragrance oil
5 drops oatmeal, milk and honey fragrance oil
Combine water and borax in heavy pan over low heat; stir until borax dissolves. In
separate saucepan, melt beeswax and add oils and lanolin, stirring until all well
blended. Slowly (1 tsp at a time) add water/borax mixture into oil/wax mixture stirring
constantly. Continue stirring until it forms a thick white cream and has cooled to room
temp. Stir in fragrance oils, pour into jar and seal.
Oatmeal Foot Scrub
A fantastic treat for your feet!
Ingredients:
Cornmeal: 1/4 cup
Oatmeal: 1/4 cup
Salt: 1 TBSP
Spring or tap water
Fragrance oil (I use peppermint, lemon and lavender): 1/2 tsp
Combine the oatmeal, cornmeal, and salt with a small amount of water and fragrance oil to
make a creamy, gritty consistency. If you want to store this in an airtight container it will
keep...I like warming itin the microwave and then massage into feet after bathing. It's so
refreshing -- your feet wil actually tingle! Here's a timesaving hint: you can make the dry
ingredients ahead of time and when you run out of mixture, just add the water and fragrance
oil to the dry ingredients and you're ready to go!
Oatmeal Milk Bath
1/4 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. powdered milk
1 T. hazelnut oil
6 drops lavender oil
Put oats in muslin bag. Add the rest of the ingredients directly to bath.

20th-Games Day
Set up all your board Games & Have a Game Tornament
Let residents wander in and play.
Bean Bag Pattern
Juice Lid Memory Game
Materials Needed:
Metal lids from frozen juice containers
Matching pairs of stickers
Instructions:
Instead of throwing out the lids from juice concentrate, save them!
When you have about 24, attach stickers to one side of 12 of the lids,
and identical stickers to the next 12, so you have a matching set.
This is played like the classic Concentration card game. Teach residents
how to play the "memory" game by turning them all up-side-down, hiding
the pictures. Take turns turning over 2 at a time. If they match, they
can be kept. The player with the most matches wins.
This also make a good 1 0n 1 Activity.
