What kind of coloring pages do seniors like best?

There are a variety of coloring books available for seniors, so it is important to choose one that will best suit their interests and abilities. If an elderly adult is a fan of nature, consider getting them a coloring book with scenic landscapes or animals. For those who enjoy more abstract designs, there are also plenty of options available featuring geometric patterns and mandalas.

If your senior is struggling with vision problems, there are also large print coloring books available which can make the activity more enjoyable and accessible. In fact, most of our coloring pages featured here are large-print and can be enjoyed even by elderly adults who can’t see well.

What kind of coloring pages are best for elderly adults with dementia?

If you are caring for a senior with dementia, it is important to choose coloring pages that are calming and not too overwhelming. Steer clear of busy patterns, complicated mandalas, or coloring pages with a lot of small details. Instead, opt for coloring pages with larger shapes and simpler designs.

Many of our coloring pages are perfect for adults with dementia, as they use simple shapes and designs that won’t overwhelm the colorers.

While adults with dementia can only handle simpler designs, many will still not like the idea of coloring pages that are clearly designed for children. That’s why our coloring pages are not childish – while the shapes and designs are simple, the design is still adult and more sophisticated than a child’s coloring book.
