Designed to bring comfort, calm and gentle stimulation, this handmade fidget blanket is a thoughtful companion for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's. Restless hands often find peace in textures, ribbons and small attachments to explore - and that's exactly what this blanket offers.
Each panel is sewn from a different fabric, layering soft fleece, ribbed corduroy, waffle weave, mesh and watercolour florals to give a variety of textures to touch and trace. Sensory elements include an embroidered robin patch, a bright floral wooden egg, a vintage-style key on a ribbon, a soft tassel, a colourful fish charm hidden underneath mesh, a squishy donut charm, and a pale blue ruffled fabric ring for little fingers to twist and turn. A fleece loop on the top corner makes the blanket easy to carry, hang over a chair, or pass from hand to hand.
Fidget blankets - sometimes called sensory blankets or fidget quilts - can help reduce anxiety and agitation, encourage gentle hand movement, and provide a familiar, soothing focus during quieter moments. They make a meaningful gift for a loved one at home, a parent or grandparent in memory care, or residents in nursing and dementia care settings.
Please note: as each blanket is individually handmade, some minor elements may vary slightly from the photos.
