Activity for elderly to engage the mind

I came across a web site http://www.portraitpuzzles.com that I used to provide activities for my husband who has bvFDT. I took pictures of things that are important in his life and downloaded them to this web site and they make really great puzzles out of them and they arrived in just a few days and are not costly at all. There a multiple choices. I chose the 30 piece puzzle; the pieces are large; about 4" inches over all. Once he gets done playing with them I intend to glue them to a sturdy background board that I purchased at Wal-Mart and hang them on the wall in his room at the care facility he lives in. They will be his Christmas gifts.

@momkids What a neat idea! Perhaps, as he is doing the puzzle, you can engage him in talking about stories about that person, remembering things.

Hi @momkids - Thanks for the great idea. I bookmarked the page. I'm going to use it for a Christmas gift for my husband too. Does your husband have a favorite?

@momkids I just love the idea of the portrait puzzles! I ordered ones for my grandchildren right away! Thank you
