As I said yesterday, part of making life for those with dementia as pleasant as possible is to celebrate the holidays with them in a joyful fashion.

What else can you do to make Easter special?

Think back to your family’s past What traditions did your familt carry out? What can you still do?

Here are some other possible ideas
*Make and or fill an Easter basket.
If you have no one to give it to donate o\it to a local charity or childrens organization.
Perhaps you can make a trip to a local pre-school to donate some time with your loved one with dementia.
Obviosly this may not be appropriate for everyone.

*Watch an Easter video or listen to Easter music

Here are the Lyrics to the song Easter Parade
“Never saw you look quite so pretty before
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely what’s more
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door
For
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it
You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter paradeI’ll be all in clover and when they look you over
I’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter paradeOn the Avenue
Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re
In the rotogravureOh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I’m taking to the Easter parade”
