I am a nurse who frequently works in an Alzheimers Unit....We have several patients who enjoy busy mats....these are similar to dolls I have seen that have zippers, buttons, snaps, that don't detach. Pockets with things (animal shapes) that are attached to the mat with ribbon are on some of them as well. I would say the ones we have are about 11 X 14....I would love to make some new ones for my patients, ideally I would like to have one for each, but realistically I would like to be able to make enough that we had at least a dozen for use in the common area.....Does anyone know where I might find a pattern for these?
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated as well :)
