Created by a mama of two & teacher for over 15 years, to make imaginative hands-on play and learning experiences fun and easy, for kids and their grown-ups.
Our Play Kits...
-
Offer parents the comfort of knowing the “toy” their child is spending so much time playing with, is truly enriching in an abundance of ways! Our goal is for each of our kits to be a fun exciting family experience, from the moment your child receives their box in the mail until each playtime is over, and all the little moments of love and learning in between. As part of our kit experiences, we want to empower parents with ideas and guidance for sensory play, with as much or as little parental involvement as each situation calls for.
-
Provide quality curated hands-on fun for varying age levels.
Activate multiple senses, allowing children to explore and manipulate different materials, textures, colors, unique sounds, and even scents.
Promote a wide range of developmental benefits such as academic skills, socio-emotional development, language acquisition, problem solving skills, imaginative thinking, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration building.
Create opportunity for independent, cooperative, child-led, and/or adult guided play.
-
Give back. A portion of every sale at A Sense of Play Co. goes to making play kit donations to different children's organizations and causes. As our company grows and reaches more children, each customer will directly help us grow our philanthropic outreach.

FAQ's
Do you create custom orders or party favors?
We offer custom themed bulk orders, like party favors. We also offer themed event or party sized sensory play bins.
At this time, we do not create and sell individual custom play kits.
Contact us for more information.
What ages are your kits made for?
For safety reasons, we suggest starting our products with children over the age of 3. But as with all activities, caregivers should monitor children and be aware of the ability their little ones have to understand safety and proper use of materials.
Besides the safety precautions, we feel our kits can be enjoyable and beneficial for older toddlers to children over the age of 101!
Do you outsource your play dough?
Nope! All our base materials are small batch, handmade/dried/dyed, and packaged by us in the United States.
How long are base materials good for?
Our base materials are all handmade with food-grade ingredients, therefore don't last forever. If kept in airtight containers, they can last anywhere from 3-6 months.
Keep dried beans/pasta/rice away from liquids or humidity.
Always store dried beans/pasta/rice separately from play dough, to maintain the quality of the dry materials.
If play dough begins to dry and/or show visible salt crystals, wet hands and knead the dough. Within a few minutes, the dough should be back to its soft squishy self.
Have children wash hands before beginning to play, to better conserve base material from oils, crumbs, or just "sticky stuff".
Colors from our base materials, or color-washed peg people, may bleed if wet. Lightly washing and/or wiping down any surfaces that may come in contact with color bleeding, should clear any unwanted coloring.
