He did that anytime he had nothing to do - just to pass the time. I would think the Minky circle would be very calming. I look forward to hearing what the senior's home has to say about this project. We have a few near us - I may give them a shout out. What a great wrap up project to 2019.

These are good for kids 4+ to learn how to zip zippers, button buttons, snaps, velcro, tie bows...I definitely could have used some of these when I was teaching a life skills to elementary school children with cognitive deficits!! Great for occupational therapy for them as well.

You can add different things like a plastic window for photos, netting, beads on a ribbon just to name a few.
