Aquapaint Natural World
The Aquapaint Natural World set by Active Minds is a creative, calming, and reusable painting activity designed especially for people living with dementia. Featuring five familiar animals – a butterfly, goldfish, cat, peacock, and horse – this set taps into the joy of nature and the comfort of animals, making it especially engaging for animal lovers.
Aquapaint activities are one of our most popular resources for those in the mid-to-late stages of their dementia journey. By simply brushing water onto the canvas, the hidden image is revealed in vibrant colour, providing both surprise and satisfaction. Once the water dries, the image fades back to white, ready to be used again and again. This makes it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for care settings while offering endless moments of creativity and engagement.
Painting with Aquapaint not only supports relaxation and stress reduction but also helps maintain fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. It provides a valuable sense of achievement and independence, even for those who may struggle with traditional art activities.
