Arts & Crafts

At Maples Care Home in Bexleyheath, we know how important it is for residents to stay active, creative, and socially connected. Our arts and crafts sessions give residents the perfect opportunity to relax, express themselves, and enjoy fun, engaging activities. Whether painting a canvas, making a handmade gift, or trying out knitting, these sessions bring a sense of achievement and joy while encouraging friendships and laughter. Creativity is not only enjoyable but also supports mental and physical wellbeing, making it an essential part of daily life here at Maples.

Creative Activities for Every Resident

We believe that creativity should be accessible to everyone, which is why our arts and crafts sessions are designed to suit residents of all abilities. From traditional crafts like sewing, jewellery making, and flower arranging to more modern projects such as card design and seasonal decorations, there is always something new to try. The focus is on enjoyment and self-expression rather than perfection, so residents can truly relax and explore their creative side.

Building Confidence and Connection

Taking part in arts and crafts helps residents feel a sense of pride in what they create, while also providing valuable opportunities to socialise. Group sessions allow residents to share ideas, learn from one another, and make connections with those they may not have spoken to otherwise. Each project is designed to be inspiring, fun, and flexible, ensuring that residents leave every session with a smile, whether they have created a masterpiece or simply enjoyed the process.
