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

This dementia-inclusive colouring book is designed to support engagement, confidence, and connection in mid to late-stage dementia care. Printed in A4 landscape with a high-quality glossy cover, it features 28 original line drawings — from delicate roses to a vintage camera — created to feel familiar and open-ended.

There’s no “wrong way” to begin, and the dual cover design makes it easy to flip the book and carry on. Whether used at home or in care settings, it invites creative engagement without pressure — offering a sense of purpose and presence, even when verbal communication is limited.

This is more than a colouring book. It’s a chance to spend time together, encourage focus, and share stories sparked by visual memory.

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.

56 pages / 28 images — one per page to support focus and avoid bleed-through

Dual cover design — no “right way up” to reduce confusion and support independence

Clear, age-appropriate artwork designed to prompt memory-based conversation

High-quality UK print — compatible with felt tips for easier grip and control

No pencils included, so users can choose tools that suit them best

DSDC-accredited (1b Silver Equivalent) for dementia-inclusive design

Ideal for care homes, day centres, or families supporting Alzheimer’s care

Simple tips for meaningful use:

• Do: Colour together, or simply sit nearby as they explore at their own pace

• Do: Offer gentle encouragement, not instructions

• Avoid: Memory-testing questions — instead, try “Which part do you like most?”

• Let them lead: There’s no wrong way to colour

• And always: Have fun

Personal story:
When we first tried colouring books with my dad, we were surprised by how enthusiastically he took to them. Even in his advanced stage, he knew just what to do. It became one of his favourite activities — quiet, absorbing, and often a real mood-lifter.
