Free colouring sheets for elderly people! Roses!

Here is another FREE colouring sheet to print out and use in your residential care home or day centre.

These sheets are great to use for those with Dementia or Alzheimers Disease.

Although I am based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire UK, I have just realised that many of my views are coming from Australia, Norway and the USA.

I have had many emails suggesting that I make a book of designs for adults to enjoy and colour in so I am looking into this.

In the mean time please enjoy this image of a Dog Rose I have drew this morning especially for you  to print out and use.

Fyi the rose was a pretty pink with the petals turning from pink to white as they reach the centre of the flower.

The Big Draw 2010 video!

This was my first experience of working with people with dementia.
Although I had a family member who was suffering from Alzheimers I had no care home experience so this was a real eye opener for me.
I spent an hour twice a week with residents at Sunrise care home drawing and talking and encouraging residents to become involved in creating some art.
Here are the results of when I did 'THE BIG DRAW!'
