Oh what a lovely trip! #AlzChat

Love this #AlzChat

#AlzChat - what about autumn poetry? ‘Fall, leaves, fall; die,flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me, Fluttering from the autumn tree - Emily Brontë

#AlzChat This autumn activity is artfully messy but the results are pleasing! People enjoy the painted cones as table displays. You can add eco-friendly glitter for that extra special sparkle!

#AlzChat The opportunity to gather leaves for pressing still creates a buzz of excitement among the families we've worked with who are living with dementia- This is a process of sorting, choosing, deciding, pressing leaves on sheets of paper beneath heavy books (or a press)...then making a collage.

#AlzChat Last month we mentioned memory boxes. How about creating an Autumnal box. Fill a box with pine cones, acorns, beechnuts, gourds, cinnamon sticks, orange and gold fabrics etc to create a sensory activity that can stimulate stories or words related to Autumn. (photo C Giles with permission)
