4 Art Jigsaws and Just Add Water Painting Kits, Designed by UK Artists in Partnership with Leading Universities and Dementia Care Scientists
We know how important it is for care homes to have activities that are inclusive, enjoyable, and genuinely engaging for everyone. That’s why we’ve created our Reminiscence Puzzle and Just Add Water Painting Collection, a carefully curated subscription thoughtfully designed to spark memories and conversation. With each collection, you'll get thoughtfully created Chattercards relating to the artwork, created with each artist, to help spark conversation between residents, carers and wellbeing and activity coordinators.
Delivered four times throughout year, each Art Puzzle and Just Add Water Painiting collection offers a fresh opportunity for connection and stimulation, helping to keep activity sessions varied and uplifting. With hundreds of care homes already pre-ordering the first release, we’d love for you to join our growing community and bring a little more joy to your residents, one piece at a time.

How it works
4 Art Jigsaws and Just Add Water Painting Kits, Designed by UK Artists in Partnership with Leading Universities and Dementia Care Scientists
01.
We curate art of UK artists
Around 90% of dementia-friendly jigsaws online are created using AI-generated art, something that can feel unsettling or confusing for people living with dementia. That’s why we partner with four talented UK artists each year to create every Reminiscence Jigsaw and Just Add Paint Kit. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to spark joy, connection, and creativity, with artwork made to be truly loved.
02.
We work with experts to ensure the artwork dementia friendly
We collaborate with dementia care experts, including therapists and researchers, to ensure every piece of artwork is truly dementia-friendly. This means carefully considering factors like colour contrast, visual clarity, and meaningful subject matter, all designed to support memory, reduce anxiety, and encourage engagement at every stage of dementia.
03.
We post your Art Jigsaws and Just Add Water Paint Kits
We post your Art Jigsaws and Just Add Water Paint Kits directly to your door four times a year. Each delivery includes originally designed, limited-edition jigsaws and paint kits, created in collaboration with UK artists and dementia care experts to spark connection, creativity, and calm. No two of your boxes will be the same, and every piece is made to be meaningful.
Since 2020, we've introduced thousands of art lovers to their new favourite artists.
We’re proud to collaborate with exciting contemporary artists, bringing their work to new audiences. We’re passionate about helping them tell their stories authentically, and share their practice in creative ways.
