I have done exercise groups with balloons (especially for the dementia residents,,,if they are unable to catch them, the balloons are harmless too them, unlike a ball being tossed at them. This also works well for those that have been effective by a stroke. Often they are able to catch a balloon with one hand. I have also used the big ribbons from the flowers you get from all those baskets from the furneral home. For the higher functioning I have used can veggies for weights.
