Gather family and friends, the annual fairs in town! This evocative puzzle, created especially for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s, will have you reminiscing about your favourite fairground rides, candy floss, giant stuffed animal prizes and more.
35-piece puzzles for dementia
Relish 35-piece puzzles are designed to delight people in the early stages of dementia. From the idyllic to the iconic, each scene is carefully chosen to stimulate joyful memories and inspire conversations upon completion.
The larger pieces, approximately 4.5cm in width, are easy to handle for people with dexterity difficulties. The box is designed to assist and encourage individuals to complete the puzzle independently; it perfectly frames the assembled puzzle and features the final image printed on the inside lid. High contrast colours and a clean and uncluttered picture with one main focal point are additional details successfully tested alongside people with mid-stage dementia.
Benefits of puzzles for dementia
Jigsaw puzzles are a favourite pastime for young and old, and for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s, they can be especially beneficial.

Yes. You can try our 63 piece puzzles for that extra challenge. We are currently producing a 100 piece puzzle which will be available soon.
Are the puzzles suitable for the visually impaired?
This all depends on the level of impairment. Our puzzles are designed with high colour contrast, and the pieces are bigger than an average puzzle piece would be. The 13 piece puzzles have one main focal point, and have larger, unique puzzle pieces, to aid people with vision impairment.
