Doing scrapbooking projects will not only be fun for seniors, it may also offer them the following extra health benefits too.
Boosts Physical Dexterity
An occupational therapist can help seniors who are experiencing a decline in their ability to do motor functions like handling tools or drawing with pencils. When a senior and their loved ones work on a scrapbook project together, it's like they will have their own in-home type of occupational therapy. Gluing, writing captions, cutting and embellishing pages of a scrapbook project will help exercise a senior's dexterity. Make sure you also encourage your senior to complete as many tasks as possible, even if it would be faster if you did them yourself.
