The devices within said container include items that can be felt and rubbed by the patients to stimulate movement of the fingers and the sensory areas of the brain; items which can be squeezed again for finger dixterity and for diversion, i.e., entertainment of the patients so that they are maintained in a happy and busy frame of mind. Other items such as containers with removable covers, items which can be stretched, items that have reflective surfaces, materials that can be stacked, combs, and eating utensils are also included.
