Doll therapy is a recognised form of therapy. Our dolls can be used in any setting and can encourage conversation and reminiscence.
Why not create a garden or indoor scene in a tray that allows the dolls to be moved into different positions.
‘Some people with dementia can enjoy the sensation of holding something … and it can inspire a renewed sense of purpose, which can lead to increased activity levels and liveliness.
There is evidence showing that the use of dolls or soft toy animals can be particularly helpful for those who may not be engaging with others, or who are restless, distressed or anxious, improving their well-being and ability to communicate’ Dementia UK.
