Reminiscence therapy is an activity which promotes the sharing of memories and the telling of stories. Favorite Things products help people connect to one another through the reminiscence of their own favorite things. Whether one-on-one or in a group setting, the ability to share life experiences and advice with others enhances our sense of worth and general well-being. Favorite things products stimulate memories through the vibrant pictures and video clips you will find in our photo cards and videos. Our companion activity cards are great conversation starters, promote creativity and create bridging and understanding between generations from our youngest to oldest. By reminiscing about your own and others favorite things, people learn more about each other, form connections, and experience joy and contentment. In doing so, reminiscence can provide a much needed break from the routine, and combat loneliness, and generate happiness.
The dog collection brings out the dog lover in us all. With their sad eyes and wagging tails they make our hearts melt. From sleepy dogs, to the everyday dog chores, tricks, and playtime it is no wonder they are called man's best friend. Relax to the music and sights of dogs of all ages that are resting or sleeping, and find joy in the mix of so many different breeds with their variety of colors, sizes and character trains. Instrumental background music matches the mood or activity level of each video. Must be a patron of Eagle Valley Library District to borrow from the Library of Things.
