We are pleased to introduce this lovely seaside puzzle designed by Timeless Presents Limited

Description

Award-winning and DSDC (University of Stirling) accredited the Sentimental Seaside Puzzle emphasises cultural reminiscence and familiarity, incorporating elements intended to inspire conversation and engagement.

  • The image is printed on the tray base to avoid reliance on impaired short-term memory by eliminating the need to look away.
  • The design includes diverse people and activities for inclusivity, using strong contrasting colours and distinct images on most pieces to aid matching and orientation.
  • Black and dark colours are minimized to prevent misinterpretation as voids or holes.
  • All the pieces are uniformly shaped and straight-edged, assisting those with dexterity issues and helpfully ensures that even incorrect placements foster a sense of achievement.
  • The puzzle is made from sturdy wood for durability.
  • This puzzle aims to offer an opportunity for self-expression and engagement that you both can enjoy.
  • Recommended for later mid-stage and late-stage.
  • The pieces have straight edges, so each image can be viewed and handled more easily.
  • The straight edge design of the pieces mean that correct orientation isn’t always essential.
  • The puzzle can be used as a focus for conversation, most pieces have a recognisable image on.
  • The way the person with dementia chooses to use the puzzle, as building blocks for example, is equally valid and will also foster a sense of achievement.
