The Colorful Past: A 1950's Coloring Book: Everyday objects and people to color in and talk about from the 1950's!

The coloring book The Colorful Past — the 1950’s is a coloring book for people with dementia and their caregivers or loved ones. It includes a sampling of everyday objects, people and architecture from 1950’s America. The coloring book is designed for those who have a lot to tell about the way things were. These memorable images can make coloring not only an enjoyable pastime but the simple titles and text descriptions can also serve as conversation starters with children and grandchildren; a chance to share both new and well-worn stories. Based on the style of a traditional coloring book, it was created specifically for people with dementia in mind. The simple, clear designs make it suitable for people with a visual or physical handicap who might otherwise find a children’s coloring book too childish or one with a lot of detail too difficult. An app version of the book will soon be available on the iOS app store.
