Lacing Cards

Lacing cards are an excellent and engaging activity for individuals with dementia. They help stimulate cognitive functions, enhance fine motor skills, and provide sensory engagement. Collect lacing cards, laces (or yarn), and, optionally, large plastic needles to make threading easier.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Lacing helps stimulate memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
• Fine Motor Skills: Handling the lace and threading it through holes can enhance dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
• Sensory Engagement: The tactile experience of handling the lacing cards and the visual stimulation from the colors can be soothing and engaging.
