My Pet Elephant Activities for Seniors - A Shape Sorting Puzzle for The Elderly - Dementia - Alzheimer's, Learning Disabilities

I like that you can mix the shapes up and challenge a child or elderly patient to use dexterity in placing shapes back into cut outs. My dad has dementia & Alzheimer's and he's able to use the puzzle, master it and have confidence to be proud of. The only thing I wish it had would be a box to contain the pieces back into cut out spaces. I place the whole thing in zip lock bag. This also would be good for arthritis & hand surgery patients because you have to be able to pinch.

Great item for keeping a dementia patient occupied. Pieces are large enough to handle and come in three separate blocks which is great if you want to join in the activity with them.

I am a caregiver and have found this Shape Sorting Puzzle perfect for the elderly with or without dementia. There are 3 separate puzzle boards, so the player won't get board because you can mix up the 3 puzzle boards, turn them around, and make various setups which makes the puzzle more challenging each time you play it. Initially my patient took 20 minutes to complete the puzzle, but after a few weeks of playing it, he's down to 5 minutes and loves his accomplishment. I chose this version because he is color blind. Putting the puzzle together does not require the use of color. I highly recommend this version for young and old. It's fun, multi-level when you mix up the boards, provides fun and a sense of accomplishment! <3

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.

Before my grandpa passed he would work this puzzle every morning at breakfast and evening at dinner. It was very useful for him.
