Sensory play is great for kids of all ages, however a lot of parents are intimidated by it, and I get it! In a world of Instagram perfect pictures, it can seem like a lot of work to set up, and potentially a lot of mess to pack away.

Soon you’ll find you’ve just set up your first sensory play activity.
