Templeton House Care Home Creates Beach Memories with Arts and Crafts Day
Templeton House Care Home is turning sunny days into unforgettable beach memories with our recent arts and crafts initiative. Located just a 10-minute stroll away from the picturesque Ayr beach, residents have been soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the sand between their toes.
With the sun shining brightly, the care home seized the opportunity to organise an arts and crafts afternoon dedicated to capturing memories in the sand. Residents gathered on the sandy shores, armed with enthusiasm and creativity, to create handprints embellished with a touch of sparkle.
"The beach holds a special place in the hearts of many of our residents, offering a sense of peace and tranquility," explains Donna, Home Manager at Templeton House Care Home. "We wanted to celebrate this connection by providing an opportunity for our residents to leave their mark on the sand and create lasting memories together."

The arts and crafts session not only provided a creative outlet but also offered residents the chance to enjoy the fresh coastal air and the therapeutic benefits of nature. As they worked on their handprints, laughter filled the air and lively conversations ensued, fostering a sense of camaraderie and togetherness among the group.

For many residents, the beach holds fond memories of days gone by, making this arts and crafts activity a particularly meaningful experience. As they left their handprints in the sand, they were also leaving behind a piece of themselves, symbolising their connection to each other and the beautiful coastal surroundings.
As summer approaches, Templeton House Care Home looks forward to more sunny days filled with beach outings, laughter and shared experiences. Whether it's making handprints in the sand or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, these moments spent together are cherished and treasured by all.
