crafts for seniors at nursing home

[bluegrassgirl]

Does anyone know of some easy crafts that I can do with the residents at the nursing home I volunteer at? I'm having trouble finding crafts online that are not little kid type crafts, but ones that are not too hard for them to do. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Paint by number things are nice. With the velevety backrounds. Also little glass vases they can glue tissue paper to. (all little different shapes and colors) and decorate with the glitter glue stuff. You can do the same with glass candy dishes. Or candle holders. Holiday decorations are nice, too. Just nothing that requires a whole lot of dexterity.

any crafts with fake flowers in it(even just aranging them in a vase), painting unfinished wood products, molding with clay(leaving to dry and panting it), making wind chimes, simple hand sewing crafts, scrapbooking,
