Residents at Cambrian Lodge have been getting creative with a cheerful session of Easter egg wreath making.
Using templates on the Echo, jazzy paper eggs were cut out and carefully stuck around a paper plate outline to form the base of each wreath. Once the eggs were in place, residents added Easter ribbon to decorate their designs and prepare them for hanging on display. The photos show the process beautifully, from the colourful patterned paper and ribbon used for the activity, to residents carefully placing the paper eggs around the wreath and threading the ribbon through by hand.
The finished wreaths looked bright and full of character, with two residents proudly holding up their completed creations and one wreath later displayed on a glass door. Activities like this are a lovely way to encourage creativity and concentration, while also supporting fine motor skills through cutting, sticking and threading. Just as importantly, they offer a relaxed opportunity for residents to spend time together, chat and enjoy a shared seasonal project.
The wreaths now make a cheerful Easter display at Cambrian Lodge and are a lovely reflection of the residents’ creativity and care. It was a simple, enjoyable activity that brought plenty of colour into the home.
