This was a big hit for us and super easy to set up.
We did a yogurt parfait activity using:
- 2 flavors of yogurt (We had strawberry and vanilla)
- blueberries
- strawberries
- granola
- crushed graham crackers
- clear cups (so they could see the layers)
I built the parfaits while the residents told me what they wanted in theirs, but you could also have residents build their own to promote independence.
The clear cups made it more fun because they could see all the layers come together, and it turned into both a food activity and a sensory/visual experience.
This is a great option for:
- small groups
- residents with different ability levels
- encouraging choice and participation
Plus… anything with food is usually a win 😊
The residents could not stop raving about this! They loved it so much!
Would you have your residents build their own or do you prefer to assist like I did?”
