Sew an Alzheimer’s Activity Mat with free sewing instructions as seen on Sewing With Nancy! Marcia Engquist, who designs Alzheimer’s Activity Aids, designed these activity mats after watching residents at a care center restlessly fidget. These easy-to-sew activity mats help soothe the agitated fidgeting of people with dementia or autism. Plus, the mats help focus their attention, stimulate senses, exercise hand muscles, and entertain users.

Thank you for a great idea. My mother-in-law constantly folds tissues and this will give her other options. Plus it looks fun to make.
I love the Alzheimer’s mat. I’m thinking…you could purchase placemats as your base, instead of making one, right?
