Premium Adult Colouring Book Designed for Engaging Dementia Care
A gentle invitation to connect through creativity.
This dementia-inclusive colouring book is designed to support engagement, confidence, and connection in mid to late-stage dementia care. Printed in A4 landscape with a high-quality glossy cover, it features 28 original line drawings — from delicate roses to a vintage camera — created to feel familiar and open-ended.
There’s no “wrong way” to begin, and the dual cover design makes it easy to flip the book and carry on. Whether used at home or in care settings, it invites creative engagement without pressure — offering a sense of purpose and presence, even when verbal communication is limited.
This is more than a colouring book. It’s a chance to spend time together, encourage focus, and share stories sparked by visual memory.
Why it works:
Why It Works Emerging research shows that even in dementia, the brain can still respond to shared attention and sensory engagement — a phenomenon known as neural synchrony. Our products are designed to activate this potential through tactile interaction, familiar imagery, and intuitive prompts. They don’t just start conversations — they help reconnect minds.
56 pages / 28 images — one per page to support focus and avoid bleed-through
Dual cover design — no “right way up” to reduce confusion and support independence
Clear, age-appropriate artwork designed to prompt memory-based conversation
High-quality UK print — compatible with felt tips for easier grip and control
No pencils included, so users can choose tools that suit them best
DSDC-accredited (1b Silver Equivalent) for dementia-inclusive design
Ideal for care homes, day centres, or families supporting Alzheimer’s care
Simple tips for meaningful use:
Do: Colour together, or simply sit nearby as they explore at their own pace
Do: Offer gentle encouragement, not instructions
Avoid: Memory-testing questions — instead, try “Which part do you like most?”
Let them lead: There’s no wrong way to colour
And always: Have fun
Personal story:
When we first tried colouring books with my dad, we were surprised by how enthusiastically he took to them. Even in his advanced stage, he knew just what to do. It became one of his favourite activities — quiet, absorbing, and often a real mood-lifter.
FAQ's
1. Who is this colouring book designed for?
It’s been created especially for people in the mid to late stages of dementia. With a variety of skill levels, the images are calm, uncluttered, and easy to engage with — making it an ideal creative activity for Alzheimer’s care and a gentle way to connect without pressure.2. Why does the book have two covers?
The dual-cover design means it can be opened from either end — making it look and feel like a glossy magazine rather than a children's colouring book or something branded for dementia care. This helps preserve dignity and attract interest. It also supports our one-image-per-page format: if the book had only one direction the book could appear empty if picked up the wrong way, which might discourage engagement. The design invites exploration without confusion or stigma.3. What kind of pens or pencils work best?
Any pens or pencils can be used, however tips are often easier for people with a weakened grip. The paper is high quality and suitable for most colouring tools. Pencils are not included, so you can choose what works best for your setting.4. Will the colours bleed through the pages?
No — each page is printed on one side only to avoid bleed-through and support focus. There’s no need to worry about previous colours affecting the next image.5. Is this suitable for people who don’t usually enjoy art?
Yes. This isn’t about artistic skill — it’s about calm, engagement, and familiarity. The dementia-inclusive colouring book is designed to gently invite participation, even from people who might not usually choose to colour.6. Can this be used in care homes or professional settings?
Absolutely. The book is DSDC-accredited and designed for use in care homes, hospitals, and at home. It supports meaningful activity and engagement.
Reviews
The pictures offer a range of designs to appeal to a wide audience. There are simple designs as well as more complex pictures to complete. It’s a lovely colouring book.
The premise behind this colouring book intrigued me a bit. I can understand the type of pictures included and anything that encourages someone suffering from dementia or other forms of illness that rob a person of their memory is a great idea. My late granny had dementia and one of my daughters very few memories of her are sitting together colouring in. I think that more types of these products are becoming available and if it helps with speech, coordination and memory there should be more delveloped. It's a beautiful product, great quality paper and designs so even if you just want a luxury colouring book i would recommend it for that.
