Active Minds Aquapaint Painting with Water (In the Garden)

These clever sheets provide the satisfaction of painting without the mess. They’re reusable, so they can be enjoyed again and again.

Key Features:

• 5 reusable painting sheets - dry them out and use again!
• Just add water and a beautiful garden-related image will start to appear.
• Provides stimulation and encourages dexterity.

The Aquapaints set has been adapted to make painting an even more dementia-friendly activity. You simply paint water directly onto the paining sheets and a colourful image will start to appear. As the image dries the picture disappears, and the sheet is ready to use again! This means all someone needs to get started is a pot of water and a paintbrush and they’ll be able to enjoy the gratification of creating a piece of art.

Painting is a great pastime for people living with dementia; holding a paint brush is good for dexterity, and the act of creating something is a pleasurable and therapeutic experience. Its great for conversation as they can start to describe the image that appears as they work, and the beautiful images will provide a real sense of accomplishment upon completion.

The In the Garden painting sheets feature a blue bird, a rose bush, hedgehog, lawn mower and fresh vegetables, aiming to prompt conversation about days spent in the garden.

Excellent product. Can be used both one-to-one and in groups.

We have used these before at sessions and found them to be excellent. It was for this reason that we ordered what I consider to be a very worthwhile and useful aid to sparking an interest for my husband whose career was spent as a technical artist.
