This Flower puzzle has only 12 pieces, an adult-oriented image with vivid colors, and large pieces which are easy to handle. Puzzles are made of a thick, durable chipboard and are 8.25" X 11" when complete. Consider for MindStart middle activity level.
Puzzles with many pieces and detailed images are too difficult and
frustrating for patients with dementia, as all the pieces look too
similar. MindStart puzzles are unique because the images have only a few, simple objects in each image, making it easier for the user to find pieces that go together. This design feature, along with having less puzzle pieces, allow people with dementia to have the right level of mental stimulation and success.
