That's a great idea! When my mother was in the nursing home with Alzheimers, I made her a quilted purse that had zippered pockets on the inside and outside and filled it with stuff like a note pad,a pen, a calendar filled with family birthday dates, comb, chapstick, small photo album, wallet with change, etc. She loved it and it kept her quite busy checking it all out. Please post what you make so we can all see! (((HUGS)))

I have tried to google it but only get a small picture of an apron. Thanks.
