Countryside Arts and Crafts at Cherry Blossom Care Home

Cherry blossom care home review

At our Cherry Blossom Care Home, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, the residents and care team always enjoy sinking their hands into a fun creative project. Surrounded by beautiful Hampshire countryside, the residents recently decided to bring a touch of the farm indoors by crafting their very own cardboard cows.

 

Countryside Arts and Crafts at Cherry Blossom

 

A Lively and Creative Project

The activity proved to be a fun, lively session that filled the home with laughter, teamwork, and plenty of imaginative flair. Residents worked together, cutting, painting, and assembling their bovine masterpieces. This type of arts and crafts activity is wonderful for engaging fine motor skills and encouraging social interaction.

When Cows Go “Moo!”

The best part of the session was undoubtedly when the residents proudly presented their creations. Of course, no farm animal crafting session is complete without sound effects – and the residents had great fun making their cardboard cows “moo!”, adding to the cheerful and playful atmosphere.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
