Valentine Fundraiser It’s time once again for our annual Valentine Balloon and Gift Giving sale. This year we will have two different sized balloons to sell as well as a variety of gifts to give your loved ones, including personalized stuffed animals, homemade heart shaped cookies on a stick, candy-filled coffee cups, and candy-filled character kids cups just to name a few. You can come to the activity room to view our selection of balloons and sample gifts. Prices and pictures of the items will be posted on Facebook, Feb. 1. All items must be picked up from the facility. We will deliver to the residents. Fairy Tales, Folklore and Fables Once upon a time, we learned about fairy tales, folklores and fables. We still remember some of them today, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears or Jack and the Beanstalk. This month we are going to go back in time and concentrate on Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Some of our activities will be to make a fairy garden, discuss the moral behind fables and folklore, make a mirror, mirror on the wall, play fairy tale bingo, complete an agamograph and make fairy tale cupcakes for our birthday party.
