A Great Memory Tool: The Toolbox!

Many people have spent numerous hours admiring the tool shelves at Home Depot – and even more hours in their garage or workspace inventing projects just so they can pull out that toolbox and have have-at-it! Presenting various tools to an activity partner who has a similar past can ignite memories of purpose and value. Wood, hammers and assorted hardware also offer sensory stimulation and opportunities for reminiscing. Take time to examine the tools and various building materials and see what memories or ideas arise.  Go one step further and research a small project that offers a joyful experience, as well as strengthening cognition and hand dexterity.
