The Ultimate Fidget Activity - The Curiosity Box including Tote Carry Bag

The perfect gift for someone in the later stages of dementia. Our timeless Curiosity Box with carry bag is the ultimate fidget activity that can be taken anywhere and recalls the intrigue of treasure chests and button tins. They almost whisper ‘Open me, and have look inside!’  It reminds us of afternoons sorting through button tins, inspecting, organising and delighting at the hidden finds within. 
The Curiosity Box contains several items to be discovered on opening and, when this is initiated by the person with dementia, the choice to open the box empowers their innate human inquisitiveness. Having a rummage around and investigating all that it contains is so very satisfying. You can enjoy the box and its contents together when they become restless and want to ‘go home’ or become bored with conversation they can no longer follow. Additionally, a Curiosity Box sitting within their visual field, can stir their interest and they may choose to use it independently. Observationally this seems to act as a ‘re-set’ in some people, allowing more time together before the restlessness or boredom returns.
