A Tangram Puzzle for Seniors With Dementia (Includes FREE Printout)

Описание: Tangrams are a type of puzzle that consist of seven geometric shapes. These shapes are arranged, without overlapping, to create an image. In this puzzle, the chosen image is a house. The goal of the project is to use fine motor skills (cutting) and puzzling skills to fill in the house.

Puzzling is a good activity for the brain and this art project makes use of this aspect by introducing an achievable challenge to the art-making.

For this project, you will need:

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe environment.

Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
