The benefits of art therapy are wide-ranging – it can help keep the mind active, promote dexterity, and is a great form of self expression.

Residents at Weymouth Care Home recently enjoyed a day of arts and crafts, creating different animals from clay and then painting and glazing them. A selection of animals including a pig and a crocodile were made.

The residents were really pleased with their animals, which will take pride of place in their rooms!
