The Ramona Stars 4-H Sewing Project made “Fidget Mats” for senior citizens with Alzheimer’s. The project was a comfort service project inspired by the 2019 California 4-H State Fashion Revue. The youth members in the project designed and made mats that had multiple tactile elements that Alzheimer’s patients could use to keep their hands busy while they are resting or watching TV.
