SMILES UP cards / package of 24

EXCITING NEW PRODUCT! 

Conversation starter cards interest residents and make it easy for everyone to start a conversation.  Each card has one or two sensory objects affixed to it.  The combination of the sensory "add-ons" with the bright picture and affirming message elicits curiosity and activates thought.  They open up discussion.  A package includes 4 each of the 6 patterns, with a guide sheet that suggest comments to use to open a conversation.  Read the report below to see how well they worked for a group of adults who had never visited strangers in a long-term care facilities, and who were not sure they could do it!
