Paint That You Can Make at Home Together
This homemade paint is an enjoyable thing to create together with your loved one with dementia. They can participate in a few of the steps used to create the paints and the resulting paint is light, non-toxic, and easy to clean up with soap and water.
To make this paint you will need:
Cornstarch
Water
Food colouring (your choice of colour)

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe, structured environment.
Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
