More Than ‘Just’ an Activity: “Each activity comes with simple prompts to enjoy meaningful time with your loved one.”

The Timeless Curiosity Box is a dementia-inclusive activity box, carefully designed for late-stage dementia care. It isn’t just a box of objects — it’s a selection of tactile items, nostalgic images and sensory prompts that support meaningful connection without pressure.

Ideal for home use or professional care settings, each item is chosen to invite recognition, exploration or gentle conversation — even when memory and speech are fading.

From threading buttons to vintage toys and nature cards, the Curiosity Box encourages open-ended engagement and quiet presence. It can be explored at any pace, in any order, and returned to again and again.

It’s an ideal activity for:

Care homes supporting residents with advanced dementia

Families seeking ways to connect through touch and shared attention

Hospitals and community teams looking for inclusive, no-training-needed resources

Why it works:

Why It Works Emerging research shows that even in dementia, the brain can still respond to shared attention and sensory engagement — a phenomenon known as neural synchrony. Our products are designed to activate this potential through tactile interaction, familiar imagery, and intuitive prompts. They don’t just start conversations — they help reconnect minds.

Includes a mix of tactile, comforting items chosen for exploration and sensory appeal

Encourages connection through quiet presence
