Lille Lise and Henric are dementia dolls designed to support individuals experiencing restlessness, touch deprivation, or a need for comfort. They have weight in their hands, legs, and body, which stimulates body awareness and helps the user sit more upright. Both dolls can have a calming effect, as the weight helps release oxytocin — the body’s natural stress-relieving hormone.

With Lille Lise, there are opportunities for activity through the belt on her stomach and the zipper on her dress. The doll also comes with a brush that can be used as both a toothbrush and a hairbrush. The brush can be used for mirroring if the person does not feel comfortable having their teeth brushed or hair combed. In addition, the clothing can be removed to the point where the dress can be pulled over the head. The dress is sewn on to prevent it from getting lost, while still allowing the user to practice dressing and undressing.

Henric is a dementia doll designed as a little carpenter boy. With his hammer and pencil, he can evoke recognition in individuals with experience from manual or office work. He weighs 3 kg, and the weight provides a calming effect by releasing oxytocin — the body’s natural stress-relieving hormone. The combination of weight and familiar details makes Henric ideal for creating calmness, comfort, and a sense of presence.

Both Lille Lise and Henric offer various forms of tactile stimulation. Lille Lise has soft hair with ribbons that can be tied and untied — they are sewn on to prevent them from getting lost. Both dolls have slightly pronounced ears designed to be gently touched or rubbed between the fingers to promote calmness. Their hands contain small grains that can be felt when held, and the 3 kg weight provides a natural sensation similar to holding a child on one’s lap.
