About ArtKits

 

SilverKite's ArtKits are fully prepped art activity boxes geared towards older adults. The kits include eight workshops & are shipped to you with all supplies included, instructions on how to facilitate the activity, and a link to an accompanying playlist.

ArtKits cost $450.00 USD + sales tax. Free shipping!

Who are ArtKits for?

ArtKits are designed for older adults in skilled nursing, memory care, or other assisted living communities.

 

We know that planning programming, gathering supplies, and then facilitating an activity can be difficult when you already have a busy schedule. Save time and stress by allowing SilverKite to do the work for you! Every quarter, we create a series of seasonal ArtKits that will facilitate creativity, connection, and fun for your residents. 

What's inside?

All ArtKits include instructions for 8 workshops & all arts supplies needed for 15 residents to participate in each one:

  • Instruction Booklet (paper copy & digital PDF)

  • All art supplies required to complete the activity

  • A link to a playlist to accompany the activity

  • Some kits may have additional slideshows or video instructions

SUMMER

Roll the Dice
This activity encourages participants to discuss their favorite games, learn to play specific
dice games, and collaboratively create or teach their own games.
Storytelling Through Hula​​
Participants hold a celebration where they perform a short hula dance using specific hand
movements that tell a story.

At the Hop! Dances of the 50s and 60s

Let’s go to the Hop! Reminisce about a time when fashion was big and dance was a way to get

out of the house and express yourself. Grab a scarf, and let’s dance!

Story Cards

Participants create a set of cards to use as starting points for a group storytelling session.

Puzzle Swap

This workshop brings art and community together through puzzle design and exchange. 

You Are My Sunshine

Create a 10-inch colorful mixed-media sun. Celebrate all the ways that sunshine appears in our lives.

Sun Prints

Create a sun print using solar power! This workshop is inspired by cyanotype photograms, a process where plant material and found objects are placed onto a light-sensitive surface to create unique monoprints.

Marbled Sun Mosaic

Create funky marbled “prints” using shaving cream, food coloring, and index cards. The prints can

then be used to create a mosaic-style sun.

Woven Wall Hanging

Construct a simple cardboard loom and weave a fiber art piece using yarn, ribbon, wool, and other fabrics. This workshop focuses on pattern, texture and sharing memories generated by using one’s

sense of touch.

Popsicle Stick Tapestry

In this project participants will let their imaginations soar with color, design, and
memories while designing their very own popsicle stick tapestry.
