Click it bags. How about fidget aprons? I made 25 of them for the altzheimers unit where my mother is a resident. It gives them something to do and they love them. I put a button flap with a picture underneath, a velcro strip with a pull at the end, some furry applique, a zip compartment with a string of beads sewn into the pouch. They play and play and play, it is amazing. I put so much on each one, but when I gave them out, I realized they fixate on one thing and just stay there for hours. The next time, they will go to another. My only problem is the staff forgets about them and of course the residents don't know enough to ask for them, that frustrates me. Oh well.
