Hi everyone
I am making a 'rummage box' for my DF who has dementia (Parkinsons). Something to keep his hands and mind busy basically. I am looking for ideas for things to put in the box. So far I have
- a cuddly toy
- a small photograph album with pics of the family
- a small jigsaw made from a pic of him and my DM
- a stress ball and soft tennis ball that he can 'scrunch' and squeeze
- crayons and a small notepad with strong paper to draw on
I've seen a special Rubiks cube with less squares per side but don't know if that would drive my DM demented if it squeaks!
Can anyone think of anything else small that he could fiddle with? His dementia is now quite advanced, so books and anything that requires him to be mentally aware are pretty much out of the question, and I don't want anything too babyish.
