Lego connects tots and pensioners at Ross-shire care home
An Easter Ross care home has launched a weekly Lego Club with kids and residents clicking together for a block-busting start to the summer holidays.
The new play scheme at Innis Mhor care home in Tain is designed to provide engaging activities for local kids throughout the summer and saw a large turnout of families from the town.
The club, which meets every Tuesday from 11am to midday, offers an opportunity for intergenerational learning and community support. The children enjoyed an hour of Lego-building fun as they built new friendships with residents.
Kate Walker, manager of Innis Mhor said: "We were delighted by the amazing response to our summer Lego Club.
“It was heartwarming to see the children and our residents interact and build new friendships.
“Our Lego Club not only offers fun and educational activities for the kids but also brings joy and a sense of community to our residents. We're excited for many more mornings filled with creativity and laughter."
Meanwhile, Eilean Dubh care home in Fortrose has launched its own summer of fun with a new weekly Tea & Tots club for local families.
Manager Alexis Le Neven said: “We had a tremendous turn-out and our residents had a fantastic time meeting the children.
“There was a brilliant atmosphere in the home and it was amazing to see our residents playing and singing with the toddlers. Everyone is looking forward to their return next week."
Tea & Tots runs every Tuesday from 10.30am to 11.30am.
Both clubs are free, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
