About Parent & Toddler Development Classes
A place where parents and little ones get messy, laugh, and actually spend real time together. I set up these classes so you and your child can just be yourselves, connect, and explore, all without worrying about making a mess at home.
What We Do
- Sensory play is big here. Think oobleck, colored rice, muddy art, and water play. I love seeing the kids dive in, and you join the fun too.
- Every session has a fresh theme. Sometimes we paint with spaghetti or read a story like "Gajapati Kulapati," then make something crafty from it.
- We mix in music, movement, a bit of yoga, and always leave space for kids to follow their own curiosity.
How It Helps
- These are not just fun and games - activities are planned to help with fine and gross motor skills, creativity, and social confidence.
- You'll get time for proper parent-child bonding - no distractions, just you and your little one.
- Kids learn sharing, waiting turns, and that all feelings are totally normal, all in a mixed-age group.
Doing Our Bit
- Most crafts use recycled or natural stuff - like Amazon boxes, coconut shells, or old bottles. It’s a small way to show kids that making something cool doesn’t need fancy materials.
Who It's For
If your child is between 6 months and 5 years, and you’re keen to learn and play together, these sensory play classes for toddlers are for you. Any parent, grandparent, or nanny is welcome to join in.

My Story
Started Doe a Dear after realising parents just want space to chill and play with their kids, no drama, no fuss. I’m big on learning through play, and I love seeing kids get curious, making art from stuff like old cartons and dried flowers. Sustainability is my jam. For me, this isn’t just about classes – it’s about building a community where parents feel good and kids make memories.
