I found another game to keep my dad busy & occupied (72YO, stage 6) - Lite Brite!  Got it on Amazon.  He needs a bit of help putting in the bulbs correctly at first - then he really gets focused on it & going.

3 others that work are PopIt (highly recommend taking to doctor offices for long waits), Rubik's cube and coloring books.  He will color the entire page 1 color - but who cares!?  He enjoys it, keeps him busy and prevents him from getting into things.  

For antsy, restless ones - these 4 ideas are lifesavers.

Hopefully it helps for those looking for ideas.

    Lol....I LOVED LITE BRITES WHEN I WAS A KID!!!

    My mom likes arts and crafts stuff. Saturday Evening Post magazines or Reminisce  are always a good thing.
