Thank you! I liked this idea very much! 💕💕💕

[@MsK-xm7vw]

Couldn't hear one word; however, the video was clear and I'll try it with my mother. Thanks

[@user-zy3bj9vw9j]

This must be how our seniors feel when they cant hear us lol

[@lorimichelle320]

Every video I've watched

[@Tracks777]

Great stuff :)

[@artbarnstudiocreston1916]

First, it can be very hard for dementia patients to CHOOSE anything, let alone a colour of paint. If you had music playing, they could follow the rhythm... I have videos of my mum (making art) on my Chanel. She has dementia, I am her primary caregiver.

There is literally nothing on your Chanel 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

audio super low - shame I would love to hear

[@MsSony12345]

The volume is way too low...great idea though!

[@marwaradee3103]

Whats the point from stamping the baloons!!

[@renztaylor5904]

Uhm yeah. How a college or getting a helium balloon 🎈 and my Mom and I punched it around! Awesome

[@user-jb8ts6hk9w]

I can’t blow up balloons. Is there an alternative?

[@carlynedeoraj9670]

Hello Colleen, I have tried your technique with the balloon; however, the residents didn't like it much. How can I alter this activity to suit my residents?

[@shelleyt5117]

Maybe a kitchen sponge?

[@JustBethTrying]

Another inexpensive item that gives a nice result is a dishwashing brush- the kind with the round bristles.
They are are fairly easy to hold and give good results. In July you can see the results look like fireworks, in the spring, they can resemble flowers, in the fall you add this to a tree trunk for autumn leaves and in the winter, the impression can be snow fall or even a snowman!
I like using this because some folks are afraid of balloons.

I have tried this a few times too and I did most of the work.A few residents participated but most just fell asleep or wandered off, as usual.Its very frustrating sometimes.

I want to subscribe to your channel but I can’t for some reason. I tried though, I made an effort.

[@successmusick7955]

low audio

[@UFOSCOTT]

She got some splooge on her hands.

[@stillgunnasendit4146]

Omg

[@UFOSCOTT]

Isn't also used as a verb? As in: he splooged all over her face.

[@UFOSCOTT]

Hey, isn't splooge slang for semen?

[@shelleyt5117]

Pathetic. Something tells me that you will be elderly with no one who will care about you like this.
