About Handmade Sensory Kits
Why I Love Messy Play
Messy play is where kids really shine. My own son, Aneesh, taught me that the best learning happens when things get a little chaotic. I keep things simple - set up a tray, step back, and let kids do their thing. It’s not about perfect crafts, it’s about the fun and calm that comes from just playing.
What’s Inside My Kits
Every kit is handmade by me, in small batches. That means you get something unique, not mass-produced. I mix up the themes - sometimes it’s Diwali, sometimes dinosaurs, sometimes a storybook adventure. The kits are open-ended, so your child can scoop, pour, sort, and pretend however they want.
- Taste-safe sensory play for little ones (biscuit powder, dyed chia seeds)
- Natural sensory bin fillers like rose petals, cinnamon, twigs, seashells
- Handmade playdough for kids, soft and scented with real spices
- Fizzy powders that bubble with water for extra fun
Why It Matters
These kits aren’t just for fun. They help kids build strong hands, think creatively, and even learn about feelings. Pouring rice or squishing dough can be super calming too.
Safety First
I only use non-toxic stuff. For toddlers, I include taste-safe options. Some kits have small parts, so always keep an eye out if your child still mouths things.

My Story
Hey, I’m a mom, just like you maybe. My son Aneesh is the reason I started all this - watching him get his hands into mud and scented playdough, seeing his face light up, that’s magic for me. I’m all about letting kids get messy, explore smells and textures, make their own rules. I step back, let them lead. Now I’m diving into Montessori too, so expect more child-led fun from me.
My Work
Handmade Sensory Kits & Play Setups - I make handmade sensory kits and set up themed messy play for birthdays and events.
Simple & Messy Play - Minimal setups, lots of textures, smells, sounds. Kids get messy, explore, and just be themselves.
Child-Led, Montessori Inspired - Children lead the play. I step in only if needed. Taste-safe playdough and nature-based sensory play always available.
How It Helps Kids - Boosts fine motor skills, helps them notice differences, calms oral motor, and outdoor mud play is great for gut health!
