The person who arranges activities at the Home where Mum resides has been on a special course and really engages the residents
Gardening outdoors - but the rabbits ate it!
Dusting and polishing inside [so that the Staff can see how much movement each resident has]
Singing/kareoke
Poetry reading
Nail painting
Making butterflies - she provided them with cut outs and crayons to fill in then the finished articles have been hung on the walls
The 5 senses: each day the residents were given things: herbs to sniff, items to feel etc.

They make cakes .......
which they get to eat for supper
They are saving newspapers to make paper machiee [sp] pumpkins
A baby was handed round recently but I didn't see [on Facebook] that Mum took part in that
Indoor bowls
Colouring 'in'
