Hello, I'm caring for my nan who has mild cognitive impairment and I'm looking for dementia friendly games. We've got puzzles and cards. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance

Hi, I found this really helpful: https://dementia.livebetterwith.com/blogs/advice/things-to-do-activities-for-someone-with-dementia
Active Minds have a really good range, my mother's favourite is the animal bingo. Also colouring books are fantastic, we have so much of them. Mum used to work in theatre so she loves all Arts & Crafts.
Yes! Active Minds are great for puzzels!! Really lovely boxes to so its super easy to store and keep the peaces together as my husband does them.
