Pitcher Pouring with Different Sizes

Pitcher pouring with different sizes can be a useful activity for individuals with dementia, as it helps improve their fine motor skills, coordination, and cognitive abilities.

You will need pitchers of different sizes, a stable surface, and a small amount of liquid (water or juice). Explain the task to the individual. Show them how to pour the liquid from one pitcher to another, emphasizing the need to be careful and avoid spilling. Start with a simple demonstration of how to pour the liquid. For example, show how to hold the pitcher steady and pour slowly into the other pitcher.

• Fine Motor Skills: Pouring liquid from one pitcher to another helps strengthen the muscles in the hands and fingers, which is crucial for tasks like writing and buttoning clothes.
• Coordination: The activity requires precise movements, improving hand-eye coordination and control.
• Cognitive Stimulation: The task encourages problem-solving and logical thinking as individuals figure out how to pour the liquid without spilling.
