Kits 4 Seniors

My Paint by Numbers™ is excited to announce that we are teaming up withSecond Wind Dreams®to bring Paint by Number kits to seniors in assisted living facilities throughout the United States!

COVID has been particularly challenging for seniors in assisted livings facilities, making an already lonely and difficult situation even worse. That's why now is more important than ever to help fulfill a senior's dream.

The Golden Years and Dementia--and what creativity can do to help

We firmly believe that nourishing creativity is important at any age, but becomes even more crucial in the golden years. Diseases like Alzheimer become more prevalent as we grow older, and though more studies need to be done, evidence is growing that engaging the brain in creative ways can help stave off or even reverse their effects.

As a society it is increasingly likely that we live past 100. While that is absolutely wonderful, diseases of the mind also grow likelier with age. Therefore, a greater proportion of us will probably suffer from a loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning skills. These diseases also disproportionately affect women.

As an individual with access to the internet reading this right now, it is very scary thought. Imagine the terror it would evoke for a senior with limited opportunities to engage with the outside world.

We have long touted the therapeutic effects of paint by number kits and are proud to give the opportunity for seniors to experience it for themselves. Second Wind Dreams® believes that age does not erase hopes and dreams. My Paint by Numbers™ believes all people of any age should be able to experience in the joys of life. A dream and a joy that is near and dear to both of us is painting. We cannot think of a better way to help seniors engage their minds and ward off these threats than by painting by numbers!

Program Progress

Current Kit Count: 13,000 Paint by Numbers Donated

We started our partnership by committing 1,000 kits to assisted living facilities across the USA. The kits are on their way, and we have already committed an additional 12,000 in time for the holidays.

With your help there is no limit to to the number of smiles we can bring to seniors! We will continue sending PBN's to them for as long as the foundation and their partner facilities need them :)

The Kits4Seniors program is in its very early stages, but we will do our best to keep you updated with its progress. Given new COVID restrictions, it is difficult to capture those moments right now, but rest assured arts and crafts activities are in high demand in these organizations and we are sure they will be received positively.
