Arts and crafts for a spooky night in.

Every day we do simple tasks that we take for granted without a second thought. Whether it’s tying your shoe, picking up the phone to dial an old friend, or driving to your favorite place to get some delicious food. Unfortunately, as we grow older, we can develop abnormal proteins that cause plaque buildup on the brain. This is called Dementia. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of Dementia and is an extremely progressive disease. 1 in 3 seniors dies from Alzheimer’s or another form of Dementia (Alz.org, 2020).  So, what can we do to help those we know and love to bring some form of small joy even if it’s just for a moment? Bring out the crafts! Crafts not only help keep the brain sharp, but they can bring a sense of fulfillment
