TimeTogether™ coloring for older adults is a one-on-one or small group activity designed to engage older adults in the joys of coloring while spending meaningful time together with loved ones and friends.  Multiple copies of each design allow a family member (adult or child), acting as a guide, to color side by side with an older adult.  Guidelines are provided for setting up a dedicated art space for coloring in the home, and for preparing the environment with cues to facilitate a successful experience for the older adult with dementia.

The coloring package includes:  12 coloring sheets  – 4 for each of three wildflowers – Black-eyed Susan, Coneflower, and Cosmos – on 8.5″ x 11″,  80# mixed media art paper,  suitable for both dry medium (crayons, colored pencils, etc.) and wet medium (watercolors).  Flower designs range from simple to detailed.  A labeled colored reference for each flower and a color wheel are included to facilitate color choice.  Step-by-step instructions, and a handy supply checklist support care partners in their preparation.
