water colour sheets, pet and music therapy.

care facilities. You can also ask us about our wholesale options.

Pay attention to their reaction. If
they seem frustrated or stop engaging, the activity might be too challenging.
If they complete it too quickly without interest, try introducing something
slightly more advanced.

Do you offer any guidance or tips on how to introduce these activities to someone with dementia?

Start by showing interest and engaging
them gently. Use a calm tone and let them explore the activity at their own
pace. If they’re hesitant, demonstrate first or choose a familiar item to build
comfort.
