Description

The present invention relates to a toy set for the elderly.

Elderly people with advanced dementia have difficulty moving on their own initiative or working with a purpose. People often sit in the same place for a long time, and they start to repeat seemingly meaningless work called pseudo work.

These older people may concentrate on playing with a piece of cloth or the edge of their clothes. Playing with cloth is part of rehabilitation because it uses your hands. In addition, you can recall the memories of the time when you were sewing in the past and work with interest. If the elderly can concentrate on their work, not only will the elderly feel refreshed, but the burden on the caregiver can be reduced.
