With no complex activities, and the use of only circular shapes, these colouring pages were made to stimulate brain activity in a way which will help not only calm those using it, but encourage the appropriate mental patterns required for memory stability. Each page is repeated a number of times throughout the course of the colouring book, which allows carers to clearly see process from the start of the book to the end of the book. Although pages are not ranked in order of complexity, the repetition of pages throughout the book will allow clear patterns of improvement to be observed by family, friends and carers.

It is recommended that a schedule is developed with these activities, to provide further structure to the task. This may be one page a day, one each morning and night, or a number each day for consecutive days.
