I added a gardening glove to one I made....attached it at the wrist to the edge of the mat so the user could put his hand in and out of it and also feel the things sewn on the mat with it. Adding non rusting weighted metal washes inside each grid of the quilting pattern can give the mat some weight so it sits more firmly on the residents lap and also something else to feel through the layers of fabric. Sew shoe laces for "doing up and undoing". A row of shower curtain rings sewn on add a textural and fiddle component as does zippers.
