Painting, drawing, crafts and working with clay are excellent ways to express creativity and improve fine motor skills. A canvas, some paint and a brush can do wonders for stimulating the imagination.

Music has the power to evoke and connect emotions. Singing together, listening to melodies or even playing musical instruments can be a source of joy.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities, gardening can be a good experience. Feeling the earth, planting seeds and seeing the blooming results can bring about a sense of accomplishment and commitment and contributes to positive mental health.

4. Culinary adventures

Cooking or baking together provides an opportunity not only to develop culinary skills, but also to engage the senses in exploring flavors, smells and textures.

5. Movement and dance

Movement activities such as dancing, yoga or even simple stretching exercises can contribute to physical health and well-being.

6. Multimedia experiences such as Bike Labyrinth

Bike Labyrinth is an innovative option where participants can virtually cycle through different environments while experiencing visual and auditory stimuli. This not only promotes physical activity, but also the thrill of adventure and discovery.
