Choice of Group Project
One of the activities seniors enjoy is crafting!
We chose a spring craft since the timing of our project was around Easter and the spring season
Cultural sensitivity was considered in calling it a “spring” activity rather than “Easter”
The abilities of the senior group at Sky Peak was taken into account
Clothespin Bunny Project
We found this simple, but cute, project on Pinterest. We considered physical abilities of seniors in our craft selection, as well as cost and the time needed to complete the project.
Preparations for Project
Alexis purchased the larger sized clothespins, paint and googley eyes.
The decision was made to paint the bunnies in advance.
Alexis painted the bunnies the night before.
Gina and Polly shopped and purchased embellishments for the project such as ribbon, glitter, pom poms, beads, acrylic jewels, puff paint, Sharpie pens, craft glue, as well as other materials.
We had a lot of fun exploring the possibilities with this simple project! Later, the seniors did too !

EvaluationSuccess! Some rave reviews!
On Our Evaluations, seniors explained that they enjoyed being around delightful
women.
They enjoyed, being able to express their creativity in a different way.
One senior stated that it was too much fun for the afternoon, ( Maybe she was
exhausted).
Continued Evaluation
It was nicely arranged
They enjoyed being together with their other crafty friends
It was nice seeing the sky peak staff
encourage others to participate
A senior also suggested that
tweezers should have been present to help
with the smaller pieces
They appreciated out patience.

LESSONS LEARNED
Age is not a factor of abilities or memory for this particular group of women
Attempt future socioeconomic preparedness, even as young being of the “boomer” generation
Age had no affect on their ability to understand the craft, but it did affect their ability to structure their bunnies how they wanted too (help was required)
