Keeping Busy Match The Shapes Engaging Activity for Dementia and Alzheimer's
Brand: Keeping Busy
The colorful shapes on the black tiles naturally draw people’s attention. They are fun to look at and handle, and provide the basis for a variety of fun and challenging matching activities and games. The 36 tiles come pre-sorted into four bags with a corresponding template in each bag. Start with one bag of pieces and a quarter page template. Successful? Add another bag and the matching template and carry on with new colors and shapes. Too easy? Move to the next level. Too challenging? Move back a level. The instructions detail how to use each set to find the appropriate level of challenge. Even if the person can’t follow the templates, the pieces are great fun to match, stack and sort. A very popular activity.
We also offer a Low Vision Edition with larger templates and wider spacing that make it easier for people who have vision problems to identify the shapes and colors. The wider spacing also helps people with limited dexterity who may have trouble placing the pieces on the standard templates.
This product is proudly assembled and packaged by the people of The Ark, a community organization dedicated to providing services for persons with special challenges.
