A creative, multi-sensory space offering parent-and-me classes that spark curiosity and support early development through art, music, movement, and play.
We also curate private parties for meaningful, joy-filled celebrations.
Escited for our Sensory PlayDate tomorrow!
There's still time to register if you were on the fence about joining us 😉
We’re really looking forward to gathering with families next week.
This Community Picnic was created simply as a space to slow down, connect, and enjoy time together—no pressure, no sales, just real community.
Children will have space to play freely with sensory and open-ended activities, while adults have a chance to meet, talk, and connect with one another in a relaxed setting.
We’re also grateful to be joined by a few wonderful community partners who support families in different ways—but at its heart, this afternoon is about showing up, sharing space, and building connection.

Making butter by shaking whipping cream while I clean 🤍 One of tomorrow’s class menu items and honestly… it’s so easy it doesn’t even need a tutorial 😂
We used a simple water bottle instead of a glass jar, shook it for a few minutes, and ended up with fresh homemade butter ready to spread on bread. Little hands will love making this 🥖✨

Not every baby sleeps the same… and trust me, you’ll have questions. 🤍
If you’ve been wondering about naps, bedtime struggles, overnight wakes, transitions, or whether sleep training is right for your family — come hang out with us for a relaxed, low-pressure morning with Susan from Susan’s Sleep Solutions.
This is NOT a sales pitch. Just a cozy playdate where little ones can play while parents ask questions, share experiences, or simply listen in and learn from others.
One thing we love about Susan? She’s one of the few sleep consultants who will actually come to your home and walk alongside you through the process.
✨ Sensory play
✨ Music + messy fun
✨ Open Q&A with a sleep consultant
✨ Community + connection for parents

DIY sensory soil + sand 🌱🤎
This was a hit among our little ones.
A simple taste-safe sensory base that’s soft, crumbly, and perfect for scooping, digging, pouring, and pretend gardening!
✨ Ingredients
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tbs of used coffee grounds
• 2 tbs of oil
Add coffee grounds for earthy texture, flour for softness, and oil for that silky moldable feel ✨
Perfect for: 🚜 Mini tractors
🌼 Pretend planting
🐞 Bug hunts
🥄 Scoop & pour play
“Pour… mix… scoop… dig… squish squish!” 🤍
Tips: if your child is no longer mouthing, you can use baby oil and you can also replace coffee grounds with cinnamon grounds.

Heading to kindergarten is a HUGE milestone—and it can bring up some big feelings for both kids and parents! 🎒🥺✨ (I'm on the same boat as you!)
Our upcoming Countdown to Kindergarten series is designed to help rising kindergartners step into their new classrooms feeling confident, capable, and excited.
Instead of dry worksheets, we use sensory-rich, hands-on play to build early literacy and numeracy skills. Your child will explore letter sounds through sensory bins, count with real-objects, and practice classroom routines (like following multi-step directions and sharing in a small group) in a warm, low-pressure environment. ❤️
It’s the perfect way to ease the transition and turn "kindergarten jitters" into kindergarten joy!
📅 The Details:
A full 6-week series designed to help children build confidence and strengthen core skills through consistent, hands-on learning.
📅 July 7 – August 14 | Tuesdays
🕑 2:00–3:30 PM
Drop-Off session | Must be fully toilet independent
💲 $50/session | $300 total for the series
✨ Flexible Policy: Schedule conflict? Miss a class? Get a credit to use toward any other SensePlay Studio class through Oct 31, 2026.
