Photos from the summer ArtKit activities.
We LOVE SilverKite. It is a HUGE relief for staff to not have to choose an art project and purchase the supplies. We love how amazing art projects are delivered straight to our door! I don't know who loves SilverKite more: the residents or the staff. Keep them coming, please!!

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.

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.
