Art therapy program for the elderly?


hey guys, i'm heading a volunteer program for Hospice. it's a summer program where we get teens to come visit people at the nursing home, and i'm the adult in charge of heading the art therapy program

what would be some good art projects for the elderly that take less than an hour and would be easy and they would like?

get allot of finger paint's with different kinds of mediums like sponges cut in different shapes and Several sizes of brushes. This way you can show off talent of some of your residents and patients with disabilities will have a great time too.
