Gratitude Tree Craft 
Creating a project with a wooden gratitude tree with leaves that you paint and glue on, watercolor paints, and glue is an engaging activity for individuals with dementia. It stimulates cognitive functions, enhances fine motor skills, and provides sensory engagement.

Materials

  • Kit
  • Watercolor paints and brushes
  • Glue 

Instructions

Tree Outline: Use a marker or pencil to draw a barren tree outline.

Painting: Use watercolor paints to color the tree leave.

Adding Leaves: Once the paint dries, apply glue and place leaves on the tree branches.

Benefits

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Creating artwork stimulates memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
  • Fine Motor Skills: Handling paints, leaves, and glue enhances dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
  • Sensory Engagement: The tactile experience and olfactory stimulation from trees and leaves are soothing and engaging.
