Easy To Grip

Easy To Grip

This wasn't so much as an activity as it is a very great tool for clients. I work at a skilled nursing home and frequently come across the struggle of residents holding small objects. The goal is to make each resident forget their age and ailments. We came across this picture in our activity searches and decided to try it on our own! By drilling a small hole through the tennis ball and sliding an object through it proved an amazing tool to assist in holding small objects!

Residents who refused to even hold a pencil, or paintbrush now are able to use it willingly! All you need is:

• A Tennis Ball
• A Drill

Don't hesitate to really drill into that ball. It took a moment for it to start to go through.
