The CLICKABOO Activity Fidget Quilted Rain Forest Blanket is designed with a variety of Activities, Colors, Animals and Alphabet Letters based on the theme of Animals in a Rain Forest.
This type of quilted lap blanket can be a helpful therapy aid for loved ones suffering from the effects of Dementia, Alzheimer’s and related diseases. It is 25” wide and 19” tall and is designed to be used on the lap or a table. It has a buckle that can help secure it from falling off the lap.
The bright, colorful design captures the attention; and the variety of buckles, buttons, zippers, Velcro® tabs, and shoelace help develop and maintain eye coordination and hand dexterity. Activities such as that involve the work of the brain and can help slow the course of the disease.
You can also spend time and interact directly with your loved one using the Clickaboo Rain Forest blanket. Think of it as a “book without words”- sharing time looking together at the variety of animals and alphabet letters. One side has all the manual dexterity activities, and the other side has all the alphabet letters with a corresponding animal found in a typical Rain Forest. It can be so rewarding to identify the letter and the animal!
Importantly, all the attachments are secured to the blanket, there are no loose parts to get lost. The entire polyester quilted blanket with attachments is machine washable. The blanket is made to be rolled up and secured with a buckle and can be carried anywhere with the strap placed around the wrist.
