Description
Magnatab – A Gentle, Magnetic Drawing Board for Seniors with Alzheimer’s or Cognitive Impairment
The Magnatab Magnetic Drawing Board is a tactile and calming activity tool designed to support older adults, especially those living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or mild cognitive impairment.
Using a magnetic stylus, users can draw lines, shapes, or letters by pulling up small metal balls that click into place — creating a satisfying, visual image. To erase, simply press the balls back down into the board.
It’s a non-verbal, stress-free, and endlessly repeatable activity that promotes focus, fine motor movement, and a sense of calm — all without screens or complicated rules.
Why choose the Magnatab for elderly care?
-
✅ Gentle cognitive stimulation
Encourages visual tracking, hand-eye coordination, and procedural memory through repetition and creativity. -
✅ Supports fine motor control
Holding and moving the stylus strengthens finger muscles and supports dexterity, even in hands with tremors or stiffness. -
✅ Soothing and familiar interaction
The subtle clicking of the magnetic balls and the repetitive movement make it ideal for anxious, agitated, or withdrawn individuals. -
✅ No failure, no pressure
The activity is open-ended — there is no right or wrong outcome, which fosters self-esteem and reduces frustration. -
✅ Clean and durable
No ink, no mess, no batteries — just a reusable board that can be used again and again in both individual and group settings.
