In case you missed it… 🍒🫐🧺

Take one of your fav childhood games & make it sensory ✨

I was Inspired by Hi Ho! Cherry-O!, so I made a sensory filler full of berry-picking, fine motor practice, and a little dose of nostalgia. ☺️

The same bin you use today
can grow with your child tomorrow ✨ I’m so excited to share this one!!

This Weather Pattern Mix was designed to use over and over, year after year. From simple scooping + pouring
to building patterns, storytelling, and even early science concepts 🌦️

All it takes is a few small tweaks
to meet your child right where they are 🤍

Full Weather Sensory Kit coming next week but sensory fillers & weather/color cards are live in the shop now 🫶🏼🤓 Happy exploring!

It just keeps getting better with every color 😍🌈

Created to be the perfect scoopable + pourable sensory base! Simple, inviting, and full of playful possibilities 💛✨

Honestly… I didn’t want to stop making it 😅

Weather calls for sensory sunshine ☀️😎

A bright filler base that your little can freely scoop and pour, fill and dump, bury and dig!

There’s something extra special about this month’s @learners_in_bloom sensory box. 💙🏖️

The homemade kinetic sand and hand-painted shells from @the.learningbasket pair perfectly with the adorable boardwalk pieces from @pennyroseplaykits to create a beach day full of open-ended play!!

If you’ve been thinking about trying one, July’s Boardwalk Breeze box is such a fun one for summer. 🌊

The sensory art is mainly for me 😅🍦

Just for fun summertime sensory… because it’s open-ended enough to turn it into any theme and so fun you’ll keep bringing it out to play!

🍋 Which flavor is your favorite??

Did someone say ✨FIFA?? ⚽️🏆

I think this one tops the charts for my favorite sensory kit because I was able to tap into my teaching background + make fine motor activities to use with the pieces in the mix!

📸 activities: Locker Room Color Matching
MVP Challenege (counting trophies)
Soccer Goals (dice, 10 frames + number cards)
