Familiarity equals comfort 💭

Did you know familiar imagery can help people with dementia connect, relax, and even open up to share stories from the past?

Our Seasonal Memories Jigsaw Collection was designed with gentle reminiscence in mind.

It features four comforting scenes that celebrate life through the seasons, encouraging conversation and connection with every piece.

🌷 Spring – a picnic by the canal
☀️ Summer – a sunny seaside day
🍂 Autumn – pumpkins and golden leaves
❄️ Winter – cosy evenings by the fire.

Which will you choose?

A dementia memory box makes a great craft project and it’s also a lovely way of showing love and care for someone with dementia.

Each item tells a story, sparks a memory, and brings a moment of connection.

The best memory boxes are ongoing projects that evolve with time.

You can keep adding, swapping, and changing it, making it a living reflection of your loved one’s journey.

This project took a little longer than I’d like to admit… but we’re SO proud of our new puzzle collection! 💛

After the success of our Matching Memories game, we wanted to make sure these were truly joyful for people living with dementia. Quality was everything — we even designed our own custom box so it’s sturdy, easy to use, and perfect for puzzling on your knee.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring them to life.

We now have 6 products! Please share or tag care homes, community groups or families who might love them. Every share helps us get closer to our mission: bringing joy to 1 million families 💛

What is sensory garden design?

Sensory garden design is the practice of creating outdoor spaces that stimulate all of the senses through carefully chosen plants, textures, features, and layout.

These gardens are especially beneficial for people living with dementia, autism, or sensory processing difficulties, offering calm, connection, and gentle stimulation.

A well-designed sensory garden might include:

🌿 Fragrant, familiar herbs like lavender or mint for smell
🌼 Colourful flowers for visual stimulation
🪻 Textured plants and surfaces for touch
⛲️ Wind chimes or water features for calming sounds
🌽 Edible plants like fruits and vegetables for taste.

The goal is to create a space that’s soothing, safe, and engaging, encouraging interaction with nature in a way that supports wellbeing, memory, and mood.

What are your favourite dementia-friendly activities?

We love:

🟡 Reminiscence activities - looking through old photos, listening to favourite songs, or watching classic TV shows can prompt conversation and shared storytelling.

🟡 Group games - simple puzzles and conversation games support cognitive engagement while making it easy for everyone to join in.

🟡 Creative activities - painting, collage and scrapbooking, or simple crafts can be sociable without needing too much verbal interaction.

🟡 Light exercise - chair yoga, tai chi, dancing to music, and gentle walks in a group offer physical and social benefits.

🟡 Everyday tasks - baking, folding laundry, or watering plants can create relaxed opportunities for chatter and companionship.

🟡 Pampering - manicures, pedicures, hand massages, foot spas, hair brushing, and facials can all boost self-esteem and encourage gentle, nurturing 1:1 connection.
