Coloring for Seniors ShengYiYu Zhu

This is a coloring book for the seniors. The images are familiar scenes of Little India common in many Asian cities. It is hoped that this coloring activity can reignite and rekindle the memory of the seniors, giving them comfort while coloring the scenes which are drawn in fine line with fine nib fountain pen by artists Choo Meng Foo and Zhu Shengyiyu. Colouring is fun and could possibly benefit the mental health of the seniors. It helps to relieve stress, reduce agitation and promotes socialization. Familiar scenes help to establish their awareness, improves their memory and promotes reminiscing. It maintains their eyes and hands coordination and motor function. Coloring in groups encourages socialization. The ability to complete each page of images is also an achievement for the seniors.
