Tactile Activities

Use touch-based objects to evoke memories and comfort.



What are tactile activities? These are tangible things that are connected to feelings.  


When individuals cannot remember what they lost and are given something to hold, it brings something tangible to the empty "lost" space.  


Remember your favorite doll, blanket, G.I Joe, teddy bear, car, or stuffed animal?  


What did you feel when you had that item?  


What did your loved one have when they were growing up?  


The feelings resurface when these items are presented.  


TIP: Presenting something soft can stimulate happy memories of a past pet.
