    These little blankets are for patients suffering from dementia: they are mostly very uneasy and their fingers are always seeking for something to "twiddle" or as we say to "Nestel" with, that can be the curtains or any plants standing around or their own clothes! These blankets are made from different fabrics as flannell, cotton, wool, plush.... so that there are many different feelings! Little pockets to hide something, ribbons and so on...
    Best example: a lady sitting in a wheelchair scratched their legs till blodd came, after her was given a fidget blanket her legs healed up!

    Great job - hope you don't mind me copying your idea - have lots of scraps - small pillow panels. I'm sure the local nursing home would love some.

    Surely it is allowed to copy this, it's for the best for the patients! And I'll send you a link per PM because I don't know whether it is allowed to bring links up here! There are more examples what these blankets may look like!
