Coloring books and crayons have been lifesavers for many years now. However, we recently saw her eating crayons, so we are having to take coloring away from her. She is extremely active and we are trying to find out what activities can we purchase for her to do that would be safe and not something she can eat? She walks without a cane, and has had no falls. Her bones are stronger than ours and while she definitely has Dementia, she is quick-witted and has the last word on everything. Whenever we put our hat and coat on, she is ready to go, morning, noon, or night. We don't have enough for her to do? Help, please.

But there are things she can do at home. Even if she doesn't do it well, she can fold face cloths and hand towels; match socks, sort coins and playing cards (no you don't need to use them, just keep putting them out for her to sort). She can accompany you on walks; attend local music programs at libraries or schools (just be ready to leave early if it is too much for her).
She can sing along to music cds; dress dolls, sort coins. Think about what she liked to do before she became ill. Good luck
