Book Buddies
We aren’t sure how this program could be scaled for multifamily, but we just loved the idea so much that we had to share! The “Book Buddies” program was created by the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Pennsylvania, to bring together shelter cats wanting companionship and school-age children wanting to improve their reading skills. Children in grades 1-8 who are able to read at any level may come into the shelter to read to the cats in our adoption room. Similar programs at other shelters across the country have seen the benefits the program has to offer. The program will help children improve their reading skills while also helping the shelter animals. Cats find the rhythmic sound of a voice very comforting and soothing. We think that is a brilliant way to work with the outside community in a way that...

Mardi Gras Food, Crafts, and Fun!
You don’t have to be in New Orleans to get ready for Mardi Gras. With the iconic masks, beads, food, and music, any Mardi Gras celebration is sure to be a blast. Creating your Mardi Gras crafts while enjoying some traditional kings cake can be fun for everyone! With a paper plate and some craft supplies, you and your residents can make some very festive masks for Mardi Gras. You can use some supplies such as glitter paint, gems, some paper flowers and even some gold buttons. You could use whatever supplies you have on hand. Markers or crayons, ribbon, tissue paper, whatever you’d like. Have fun with it! You can also find Mardi Gras craft templates online. Here are a couple of examples.

Popsicle Stick Cobra Activity For Kids
Most of you have seen domino chains where dominos are lined up one after the other into long lines and designs. Knocking down the first domino then knocks down the second, third, etc until the whole series is down. Lots of fun as a kid, and a great activity in its own right! But what you may not be familiar with is a similar concept using Popsicle sticks! (NOTE: After researching for a while, we have heard that tongue depressors are actually better for this, so we’ll go with tongue depressors from here on out). Check out this cool effect here: The sticks are essentially woven together with a lot of tension built up as they flex between each other, and is often called a “stick bomb”. Here’s another great one: ...

Build a Community Igloo!
With bitter temperatures sweeping the country, many may not be thinking of doing an outdoor event at their community, until they see this very cool project that anyone can do! This community project builds an actual igloo on your property, with beautiful colored ice bricks to liven up the dreary winter. The Trokhan family created this particular igloo, buy buying 210 tins to create the ice blocks, using normal food coloring to create a colorful candy-like appearance. Once they were frozen, they laid two blocks together and used snow as mortar between the cracks. After each two-block groups, they would pour water over it and let it freeze together, which took between 30 and 60 seconds to become solid enough to be stable. They said the top of the igloo took a little longer to freeze in place enough to be...

Recreating Famous Movie Moments
This event was originally created for a nursing home calendar, but we believe it could be applied to anyone! Basically, the nursing home created outfits to match famous movie scenes with their residents. Since they dealt with an older generation, many of their movies were classics, but one could easily pick more modern movies for a non-senior community. Make sure to share both digital and hard copies of each picture, so that they can be shared! Also, you can offer the option to create Christmas cards later on with the images, or go the route of the nursing home and create a community calendar! Blues Brothers: Dirty Dancing: Easy Rider: Saturday...

Kids Project For Community That Loves Gardening
We ran across this absolutely intriguing craft project for the kids at your community to grow their own grass!  What’s best is that it just requires each child to bring in an old CD case, which are usually laying around in many homes these days.  Just add soil and seeds to the CD case and watch the grass grow!  You might want to experiment with the process beforehand to get any kinks out, such as how to water, and how much to water.  But it should be a pretty easy way to get the kids from the apartment community involved.

Kind, Random Acts in 2014
I received a letter in the mail a few weeks ago. This was a letter from my friend Kristin Oxford announcing her participation with Team in Training for the Leukemia society. Her note mentioned the natural details of the race and the meaning behind her participation. But here is what caught my attention. Her team went one step further this year. Yes, they will send you an email and text thanking you for your donation. Here's what they are also doing: for every donation that Kristin receives, she will perform a Random Act of Kindness on behalf of the donor. She may perform a selfless act for an animal or an unsuspecting person and she expects nothing in return. These RAOK will be properly documented and will be Posted on Facebook with the donor being tagged. How fun is this! I find this to be such a...

Snowflake Creations – A Great Winter Activity
Creating paper snowflakes is a fun activity for just about anyone, and is great for kids as it is almost impossible to go wrong. Cut a few places here, a few places there, and suddenly you have a unique snowflake. It is a great activity to keep the kids occupied during a big holiday party or as a stand-alone activity for kids after school. The basics of creating paper snowflakes is pretty easy, simply folding the paper several times, cutting notches around the edges, and then unfolding the paper. But you can also find all sorts of fun templates for snowflakes online! Here are a few examples we liked! A very cool 3D paper snowflake An entire collection of Starwars snowflake templates Assorted...

This time of year is perfect for planning a festive party or offering a little token of your appreciation to your residents.

Invite your residents to make sweet treats to share with one another. Consider providing bags or cookie tins so that each participant can take a few of their neighbors’ treats home to enjoy during the holidays. Craft Night.

Holiday Food Drive and Raffle
My community is currently hosting a food drive for our local food bank. The leasing office did a little research to see which organizations were in need of donations for the holidays. It was easy to get the information for our local food bank and setup minor details such as picking up the food barrel & arranging for a pick-up at the end of the drive. We made flyers to pass out to each home and post throughout the community. The food bank also had tools online such as what items they needed and posters we could print out for free. To 'up the ante' a bit we also organized a raffle to go with it. For each item that is brought into the office the resident's name will go into the raffle one time. Winners will be chosen at random and...
