Creating Moments of Peace and Play

Knollwood introduces Crdl and the Magic Table, two innovative sensory tools that are awakening memories and sparking joy through the power of touch and play.
Creating Moments of Peace and Play

This month, Knollwood welcomed two exciting demonstrations, Crdl and the Tovertafel (Magic Table), both bringing joyful, meaningful engagement to our memory support residents.

Crdl transforms gentle touch into sound, creating calming, emotional moments of connection.

Resident reflection:

“The music made me remember things I hadn’t thought about in years. It felt peaceful… like something waking up inside me.”

The Tovertafel turns any tabletop into an interactive play space with lights and games designed for people living with dementia.

Resident reaction:

“When the butterflies moved, I wanted to reach for them. It made me feel young again.”

Our team loved seeing how both tools encourage movement, spark memories, and support person-centered care.

Staff insight:

“Technology can be fun and person-centered. It brings out abilities, not limitations.”

Knollwood remains committed to exploring evidence-based, innovative tools that bring joy, connection, and comfort to those we serve.
