Senior Collage Poster Ideas

Making a collage is a not-too-messy art project that can help bring out your creative expression. For seniors and other individuals it can also be a therapeutic method to ease depression and motivate learning and rediscovery in their lives. Try these senior collage poster ideas for a creative way to spend an afternoon and promote new interests.
  1. Gardening

    • Gardening can be relaxing and enjoyable for anyone, including seniors. It is also a good way to get physical exercise and fresh air. During the winter months, seniors can look forward to gardening and be motivated to develop this hobby by making a collage poster that helps to plan their gardens. A garden collage can include photos of flowers and plants and packets of seeds as well as labels and information about the best time to plant and harvest.

    Sports

    • Sport activities such as golf, badminton and lawn bowling are some of the less strenuous exercises that many seniors enjoy. Many seniors are also fans of professional sports teams and athletes. A collage poster board of these sports and sports figures can make interesting wall art and be a creative way to follow a favorite sport. Use magazine cutouts of sports teams and figures as well as personal photos taken while playing or attending a sport.

    Family

    • Living far away from family members and not being able to see them every day can be difficult for anyone. Seniors in particular can feel isolated and detached from the lives of their loved ones, who may be unable to visit every day. Make a family photo collage by cutting out and gluing photos or printouts of family members to hang up in a visible location. The collage poster can be framed and protected with glass or plexiglass to preserve the pictures.

    Holiday

    • Many seniors enjoy traveling and relaxing on holiday during their retirement years. Use magazine and brochure cutouts of favorite or dream travel destinations to make a holiday inspiration collage poster. Glue the pictures on the board and add labels that describe the destination, the best time of the year to visit and other details.
