Summer is quickly coming to an end and with it comes some of the best times of the year. There are many holidays coming up and one of the biggest for kids is Halloween. However, your loved one may not be able to do everything they used to do and that’s okay. Your loved one may need help coming up with themed activities and DIY decor for their house. They may want to participate during this time of year especially if they have grandkids or great grandkids that trick or treat every year! This is also the best time of year to find some fun “spooky” activities that your seniors will love and kids will also love! If your loved one needs help getting to any activities or finding solo activities this is something that home care assistance can help with. Here are some ideas to try this fall.
Spooky Puzzles
If your senior and kiddos want to do something together but your mom or dad cannot move well, there are still things for them to do. One of the best and easiest things to find is a spooky puzzle. This can be a Halloween themed puzzle or even just a general fall puzzle. You can choose a smaller 300 piece puzzle which will allow your senior loved one and kids to finish the same day they start. On the other hand, you can choose a bigger one to bring your mom or dad so they can work on it throughout the entire month of September and October.
Haunted Hayrides
Not all seniors want to walk around a trail or maybe they physically cannot do it anymore. Instead of walking, find a local farm that does a spooky hayride for your family to enjoy. They usually set up little pumpkins, ghosts, witches, and other things to spot on the trail. These usually start during October but you may find something earlier. Instead of doing a corn maze in September they may have fun hayrides to enjoy during that time as well. It’s time to find a local place that offers this activity for the whole family to enjoy.
Head to a Local Farm
One of the most fun things you can do with your entire family is head to the local farm. Many farms will have pumpkins, apple-picking, apple cider, apple cider donuts, jams, and much more to do. They may even have certain activities they host to bring the community together and this is something you can do with your senior and entire family that will make everyone happy. It’s time to find events that scream fall time! If your senior needs help getting to any events this is something that home care assistance can help with.
Paint Pumpkins Together
Many seniors grew up carving pumpkins but it can be too hard to hold a knife as a senior gets older and physically demanding to carve a pumpkin. It may also be too difficult for your kids to do too. The next best thing you can do is start painting them! Paints are affordable and it is a lot less messy, plus these painted pumpkins will last the entire season!
