Aquapaint In The Garden
The Aquapaint In The Garden set by Active Minds is a relaxing and stimulating painting activity designed for people living with dementia. With five charming designs – a blue bird, rose bush, hedgehog, lawn mower, and fresh vegetables – this set is perfect for sparking conversation about favourite gardening memories, from tending flowers to enjoying time outdoors.
Aquapaint activities are among our most popular resources for those in the mid-to-late stages of their dementia journey. Simply brushing water over the canvas reveals a colourful hidden image, creating both surprise and delight. Once dry, the picture fades back to white, making the canvas reusable time and time again.
This activity provides much more than a moment of creativity – it encourages reminiscence, helps maintain fine motor skills, and supports a sense of independence and achievement. The familiar theme of gardening makes it especially engaging, whether used in care homes, day centres, or at home with family.
