Memories in Color is a nostalgic, dementia-friendly coloring book designed to foster calm, stimulate memory, and strengthen emotional connection for seniors and individuals living with dementia.
Why it works:
Reduces anxiety & promotes relaxation – coloring engages the brain in a meditative activity that eases stress, improves mood, and brings comfort 
Stimulates reminiscence & conversation – simple, familiar images like radios, rocking chairs, and teacups help evoke meaningful memories and encourage dialogue 
Boosts fine motor skills & focus – coloring supports hand-eye coordination and cognitive engagement, even when memory and motor skills are diminishing 
Designed for dignity & simplicity – large, bold outlines and uncluttered layouts are ideal for seniors with visual or cognitive limitations
