How to use as a rehabilitation activity or for a person with dementia:  Using the tongs, show the person how to pick up a felt ball and place it in the corresponding coloured area on the board. Then ask the participant if they would like to try to do the same. If they are happy to do so, encourage them to continue the activity for as long as they are happy to do so or until complete.
