Nice and light, brightly colored. Good activities pieces
by Debbie Blanchard
Good quality pieces, easy to handle. Mum has dementia – she enjoyed this activity and as she likes to do things over and over again this keeps her amused. In order for the rest of us to play and make it a bit harder, we bought a pack of sand timers to see who could complete it in the fastest time.

I bought this for mum who is 85 and has dementia. She is very visual and can spend time matching and talking about the shapes. Lovely quality and just the right size
by Debbie Blanchard
Purchased this for my dad who has alzheimer’s. He’s got big hands and I was worried he wouldn’t be able to pick up the pieces easily but he can. I think he enjoys it, he does use it quite a lot.
