Pebble Art

Having an active lifestyle with physical activity and a creative outlet to keep the mind sharp is important as we grow older. Pebble art/painting rocks is an exciting, new activity that sharpens and broadens one’s mind and most importantly delivers numerous health benefits. 

Pebble art/painting improves memory recollection skills and reduces the chances of developing a memory loss related disease as we age. It can also be an emotional release for people struggling with stress. When one engages in Pebble art/rock painting their mind becomes relaxed, and they soon let go of all their problems and demands that serve to fuel stress and anxiety in their lives.

Improving your imagination is an important role in the brain’s development and Pebble Art helps immensely with that. 

This week the residents of Knight Court Nursing Home took out their paint pen set and their smooth particularly large pebbles (that once lay on a beach in Bournemouth) and sat in the front garden in the beautiful sun and created some amazing pebble art. Here is some of their beautiful artwork. Raj and Julie were very proud of the amazing creative artwork produced by their residents. Knights Court has really got talent!
