Residents of HC-One’s Ridgeway Lodge Care Home in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, celebrated Easter by making vivid Easter bonnets with decorations such as chicks, Easter eggs, carrots, flowers, bunnies, and felt things at a recent arts and crafts session.
The bonnet-making activity created excitement, creativity, and a sense of community as people showed their finished unique designs, embellished with ribbons, flowers, and spring flair, ending in a jubilant mini parade through the lounge, accompanied by applause and laughter.
