Today, our ladies enjoyed some lovely one-to-one time with a colour-coordinating activity.

One task involved matching hoops to cones of the same colour, while another challenge was sorting mixed balls — placing green balls in one box and pink balls in the other. It was great to see everyone concentrating, problem-solving, and taking pride in getting it just right.

Activities like this help to support cognitive skills, improve focus and coordination, encourage independence, and build confidence — all while having fun in a calm, supportive environment.

A simple activity with so many positive benefits.
