Add a sensory effect to your Joyk Empathy Doll by tucking a scented sachet in a pocket for a trip down memory lane.
Spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and ginger can be used to awaken feelings of wellbeing and comfort, or why not use lavender for relaxation or lemon to revitalise?
empty bags for you to fill with your desired fragrance.
Why not use with our Joyk Empathy Empathy Marcio/ Marcia or a Beating Heart for a real sensory experience?
- Pop a beating Empathy Heart inside your doll’s outfit so that the doll has a realistic feel – especially for anyone suffering from anxiety.
- Place a shallow cardboard box nearby with a couple of tea towels inside for the doll user to make into a little bed. Maybe sing the beginning of some nursery rhymes and encourage the person to sing along too.
- Pop a few drops of sensory oil onto a hanky or an Empathy Doll Scent Bag and tuck into a doll’s pocket or outfit to create a scent. Ask if the person can recognise the scent? Discuss where you might find something with that smell. Can use lavender if the person finds it difficult to sleep.
- Leave a soft hairbrush nearby – the act of brushing hair can be soothing for an older person and will keep hands busy too.
