VAN, TX, August 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) What gift do you give a senior adult for Christmas? Adult children of seniors often comment on the difficulty of this dilemma. ¡§Mom has everything she needs and wants,¡¨ states one woman. ¡§She¡¦s impossible to buy for.¡¨ That is a typical response from focus group participants and survey respondents. So what do does a person do?
One solution is the ColorPad„ coloring series, created specifically for the pleasure of senior adults. Current titles, Life in the 50s, Life in the 60s and Life in the 70s, are now available for the Christmas shopping season.
The pictures in the books bring each era back to life and adjacent pages offer questions about the memories that the pictures brings to mind. So not only can the senior adult enjoy a little artistic fun, he or she can also write down some memories, whether remembering a first date or a favorite song. Another value of this gift is the opportunity to share. Holiday gatherings often leave families trying to figure out how to entertain the multiple generations. Using ColorPads, seniors and their adult children or grandchildren can sit down and color together, as the seniors recalls stories and experiences from decades gone by. ¡§This type of family interaction stimulates rich oral histories and brings families closer together,¡¨ states Linda Mastaglio, the creator of the coloring series.

The system also provides ergonomic gel pens, colored pencils, and markers to make coloring more comfortable for people with arthritis or joint pain in their hands. The system also offers book bags and marker bags so that seniors can keep all their coloring materials together.
Life in the 50s is comprised of pictures to bring that era back to life: drive-in restaurants, cool cars, poodle-skirted women, and much more. Life in the 60s features memories such as the first space walk, the Kennedy era, and the Beatles.
