If
you enjoy playing cards - it may be easier to handle larger cards
(7"
x 4.5"); standard-sized cards with enlarged and/or simplified motifs
are helpful for those with impaired vision.
A card holder which takes large or standard-sized cards can be useful for holding and sorting your hand.
There
is a wide range of games available in versions that are tactile, large
scale and/or with good colour contrast, to enable everyone to join in
the fun. From chess and backgammon (pictured right) to ludo and monopoly,
there's something to suit every taste.
Needleworkers
who struggle with threading needles may find these two gadgets handy.
Right is a threader for hand sewing needles, left, one for machine needles.
Make sure that you choose scissors that are easy to handle, too (below left). Anyone working with small, fiddly items, such as postage stamps, may welcome the help of these tweezers with an integral magnifying lens (below right).
