Roleplay is regularly used with anyone living with dementia and our small wooden doll sets are ideal for patients to handle and move around a raised garden or planter. Or build a scene with craft sticks for a bench and wooden pine trees for a forest/park scene, use glitter card to resemble water for a pond or paper mache hills and farmland.  The possibilities are endless and so much fun, it is also a great talking point.

The dolls have flexible and poseable arms and legs and are all-wooden construction.

Set includes one each male and female grandparents, one each male and female parents and one each girl and boy. Please note clothes are not removable.

Dolls are made of wood and hair is made from wool or faux fur. Clothes are a mix of fabrics.

Why not use with our tray set to make an indoor or outdoor setting for the family to live.

‘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.
