How Target’s Sensory Toys Changed Our Playtime Routine

As a parent, finding toys that truly engage my child can be a challenge, especially when it comes to sensory needs. Last month, I stumbled upon Target’s sensory toy section and decided to give a few items a try. The difference in our playtime has been incredible! My daughter, who sometimes struggles with focus, is now captivated by the textures and colors of these toys. Her favorite is a squishy fidget ball that she carries everywhere. It’s become more than just a toy—it’s a calming tool that helps her navigate overwhelming moments. I’m so grateful for accessible options like these. Have you tried sensory toys from Target? I’d love to hear your experiences! #SensoryPlay #ParentingWin #TargetFinds #Parenting

Sensory Bin Adventure: Building Together with My Kids

Today, I set out to create two sensory bins with my little ones, and it turned into a mini adventure! We gathered rice, beans, and some colorful pom-poms, then let our imaginations run wild. My daughter wanted a "beach day" bin, so we added shells and tiny buckets, while my son insisted on a "construction zone" with toy trucks and pebbles. Watching them scoop, pour, and explore was a reminder of how simple activities can spark so much joy and learning. It was a bit messy, but the laughter made it all worth it. Do you have a favorite sensory bin theme? Share your ideas below! #SensoryPlay #FamilyFun #EarlyLearning #Parenting

Messy Fun: Edible Outdoor Playtime with My Little Explorer

Last weekend, I set up a backyard sensory play area for my baby using only edible items—think cooked pasta, watermelon cubes, and mashed avocado. Watching my little one squish, taste, and giggle in the sunshine was pure joy! I loved knowing everything was safe if it ended up in her mouth, and the cleanup was surprisingly easy with a quick rinse from the garden hose. It was a reminder that outdoor play doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. Have you tried edible sensory play outside? I’d love to hear your favorite ideas or recipes!
