They can have razor blades?
This is an AWESOME thing for you guys to do, just be careful putting exacto knives in their hands as I have had a really bad experience doing this very thing for the male residents in my late wifes nursing home.

After our unfortunate incident we had to stop using glue kits and go with snap kits, but you know what, it didn't matter to those guys because they were smiling ear to ear anyway. It was more of the inclusion in an activity that reminded them of years gone by that mattered to them.
It tore me up to see them acting like children again, it was great.

Every time I think about it I am reminded of the segment in Twilight Zone: The Movie where Scatman Crothers turned the Seiors into children playing kick the can.

I wish I could do what your doing again, But I still cannot bring myself to walk into that place.

How many people are involved in the building?
Do they have any preferences as to what they like to build?

I like to try and make it as personal as possible, and it's worth the extra effort when you see it light up their faces.

Seriously, I'm touched by this, guys.
