Paint & Color - Art Therapy
Art therapy gifts specifically designed and developed for your loved ones who are suffering with Alzheimer's, other dementias, and brain disorders. It is interesting to note that in some art therapy case studies and small trials, it was suggested that art therapy engages attention, provides pleasure, and improves neuropsychiatric symptoms, social behavior, and self-esteem (cited from Chancellor B, Duncan A, Chatterjee A. Art therapy for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. J Alzheimers Dis. 2014;39(1):1-11. doi: 10.3233/JAD-131295. PMID: 24121964). Review articles & research on art & music therapy.
Important: For Alzheimer's disease, some therapeutic activities may be better suited than others, depending on which stage of the disease your loved one is experiencing. Read article "Therapeutic Activities for 3 Main Stages of Alzheimer's disease".

Color
Coloring is an activity that activates both parts of the cerebral hemisphere. When you choose a color, you're using logic. When you mix and match colors, you're using creativity. Together, both areas of the cerebral cortex are activated.
