Intro
Colouring is a therapeutic activity that encourages creativity, relaxation and mindfulness for somebody living with dementia. It’s also all the rage right now!
Relish have designed 2 colouring books that bring to life, images of nature and daily life, through meaningful, age-appropriate illustrations and prompts to help residents colour each image on their own.
Colouring is a great one-to-one activity, when you have five minutes spare. But it’s also excellent as a group. Wile away afternoons together with colouring pencils in hand, and use the interesting facts on the pages to guide a discussion.
There are many other books that you can source, but make sure the pictures are clear and not too busy
