Sensory play is an important part of your child’s development!
They work on building these skills every time they play with play dough, play sand, or any sensory materials.
What’s your child’s favorite type of sensory play?

Thank you to everyone who came to the Holiday Market this weekend!
This was my second year at the market and I was blown away by your support. The second day of the market opened at 12 on Sunday and I was sold out by 2!
Walking away from the market with empty bins and looking at that sold out sign I felt a feeling of gratitude I will never forget.
I also felt empowered, and I hope you do too! Every purchase from Oat What Fun advocates for all natural, safer play for our children. Together we are creating healthier homes for children to thrive!

👋🏻 Hi! In honor of small business Saturday, I thought I would share the “why” behind Oat What Fun.
I am Catherine Landis, the founder of Oat What Fun. I have a M.S. degree in Education, taught middle school reading, and was a preschool educator and director. I am a mom of three children, and motherhood has led be to become a natural living advocate who is passionate about helping families create healthier homes.
Oat What Fun was created for my son, William, who went on an extensive medical journey from ages 2-4. He was ultimately diagnosed with Crohn’s and put on multiple immune suppressing medications, but I begged his doctors for an alternative treatment plan. His doctors told me I could explore natural living and change our lifestyle. There were no guarantees, but I saw a beacon of hope and decided we had nothing to lose.
I spent countless hours researching natural living and tackling every aspect of our lifestyle by swapping out personal products, cleaning products, and foods for natural alternatives. I discovered regular play sand and play doh are full of harmful, toxic ingredients. I could not find play products that met our natural living standards. I know as an educator how important play is, so I spent the next five years formulating safe play products. Oat What Fun was created. The journey has not been easy, but William’s Crohn’s is in remission. My entire family now lives in a happier, healthier home.
Now I am on a mission to spread the joy of safer, natural play products to all children. Let’s create healthier homes together!
From my family to yours,
Catherine

Did you know this about fragrance? Being aware of fragrance is especially important for children and their developmental health.
You’d be amazed at how many products contain fragrance, even products for kids! It’s hard to completely avoid, but you can control what you bring into your home.
Oat What Fun is committed to never using fragrance in our products.
