Your Shop Questions Answered
What are some benefits of sensory play?
Sensory play offers wonderful developmental benefits for children. It builds nerve connections in the brain that enable your child to complete more complex learning tasks, while supporting language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and social interaction. Sensory play enhances memory and can help calm kids who are anxious or frustrated. Through hands-on exploration, children learn about different sensory attributes such as hot, cold, sticky, dry, and wet, helping them develop a deeper awareness of their senses and how they experience the world around them.
How long will my sensory mixes and kits last?
Unfortunately, we're unable to put an exact shelf life on our sensory mixes and kits, as it can vary greatly based on a number of factors. On average, they will last about 6-8 weeks, with some elements lasting up to 6 months!
It will depend on the climate of the region you live in (humidity, etc), the cleanliness of the hands that play with them, and also the environment they are stored in. Because they are made with food grade ingredients and zero preservatives, our sensory mixes and kits are totally natural and their longevity can vary!
