🎨✨ Color, Creativity & Community at Lotus Village✨🎨
Our residents had an absolutely delightful time painting whimsical garden gnomes for our beautiful community garden! 🏡🌿
This fun activity isn’t just about adding charm to our outdoor spaces — painting offers incredible wellness benefits for seniors:
🖌 Fine motor skill support – holding and guiding a brush strengthens hand and finger muscles.
🎯 Improved hand-eye coordination– each brushstroke helps maintain eyesight accuracy and precision.
🧠 Cognitive stimulation– choosing colors, planning designs, and focusing boosts mental sharpness.
💖 Stress relief & relaxation– painting can lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and spark joy.
👥 Social connection– sharing stories, laughter, and creativity with friends nurtures emotional well-being.
The end result? Beautiful gnomes, happy hearts, and a garden that’s more magical than ever! 🌸✨🖌❤️
