Fidget aprons are used for dementia and stroke patients with decreased cognitive functioning. They can be used as tactile stimulation or as a fine motor skill activity. They are a great way to engage patients with a decrease in cognitive skills safely while keeping them active.

Fidgets, fabric and friends needed! We are looking for volunteers to help make aprons and sew on the “fidgets.” We are also in need of supplies including, but not limited to: fabric, yarn, ribbons, buttons, beads, thread, needles, lace, zippers, Velcro, scarves, shoelaces, gloves, balls, spoons and whisks.

To volunteer your sewing skills or items, to obtain an apron or for more information, please contact Jennifer Tyner at (910) 639-9964 or Tracy Gibson at (910) 315-3269.
