Colored Jumbo Wooden Sticks for Matching Configurations

Colored jumbo wooden sticks for matching configurations can be a wonderful activity for dementia participants. This engaging task helps stimulate cognitive functions, enhance fine motor skills, and provide sensory engagement. Collect a variety of jumbo wooden sticks in different colors. Prepare simple pattern cards or templates (or copy on printer) that show various configurations of the sticks. These can range from simple shapes to more complex designs.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Matching sticks based on color and creating configurations helps stimulate memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
• Fine Motor Skills: Handling and arranging the sticks can enhance dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
• Sensory Engagement: The tactile experience of handling the wooden sticks and the visual stimulation from bright colors can be soothing and engaging.
