gifts for nursing home residents
#1
My Sunday School class likes to make small gifts for a local nursing home. Anyone have ideas for inexpensive and fairly easy things we can make. We do fabic things, (did yo yo pins) as well as other craft type things (like bookmarks).
Thanks !!

How about bibs! Might even be able to use old towels. Good luck bingo charm. I will post again if I come up with anything else. Nice thing to do. I have a brother in a nursing home. Everything is appreciated very much in a nursing home.

Ok.. for the life of me.. I can't remember what it is called.. BUT...
A friend of mine makes Kleenex box covers out of the white plastic grid thingys that you cross stitch with yarn. She makes them for her local nursing homes.

Those little tote-type bags that hang on walkers and wheelchairs. I'll look for a link for those.
Here's one link from this board:

if you go up to search at the top of this board and type in walker caddy you'll find a few of them.

Well the ladies are easy...they like things to put on their doors, little things for their beds, pillow cases, pretty bags to tie to walkers or wheelchairs, etc. Men are a bit more difficult...not as interested in "pretties" but still need things for their wheelchairs, walkers, etc. Thank you for doing this....my father had to spend the last few months in a NH and those little things that the churches did for him were so appreciated.
