Fidget Blanket Workshop (Valley Hi-North Laguna)

Join Valley Hi-North Laguna Library for “Healthy Living for your Brain and Body,” presented by the Alzheimer’s Association. Participants will learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement to create a plan for healthy aging. After the presentation, participants will create a lap-size fidget blanket using supplies provided by the Sacramento Public Library, including sewing machines, fabric, and “fidget items” (zippers, buttons, clips, etc). Though the design and construction is up to the individual, a sewing instructor will be on-site to provide assistance. Fidget blankets may be taken home to give to a loved one or donated to a local memory care facility. Experience with basic sewing techniques is preferred, but not required.
