Let customers speak for us
from 11 reviewsThis box is such a lovely, gentle introduction to the changing seasons. The acorns are perfect for so many different activities, especially if you don't have acorn trees near by. My little one loves feeding them to wooden animals and teddies, as well as making impressions, and acorn pies, in the beautiful navy dough.
The dough is absolutely divine, it feels lovely to play with and the scent works beautifully for an extra sensory experience. Whether making flowers or lovely pie crusts, it is an excellent addition and really captures the beauty of chillier evenings and shortening days.
The sparkle sand is wonderful, it has a gritter texture than the regular rainboweco sands, which works perfectly for starry night play or using as sprinkles for the ice cream made with the acorns. The sparkle itself is enchanting and quite bold without being over powering.
The owl roller is lovely, with a gorgeous detailed owl, who can watch over whatever play is happening, and starry night. I was able to snag the swallow roller as well, which has a lovely town scape that works excellently with the dough to create cosy, dark nights.
This box is so much fun and has prompted my little one to discover the wonder of seasons as well as creating a budding chef specialising in acorn treats!

We absolutely love our subscription boxes each month! Always beautifully packaged and we get so much play out of them! Thank you again for putting together this beautiful box, we always look forward to them arriving!💙💙💙

This was our second/repeat purchase. Dough remains soft so really maleable to work with and smells wonderful. Highly recommend

This is such a lovely box! The dough is beautiful and smells absolutely devine. It's a dream to use and really enhances the rest of the box. The tickit wooden flowers are lovely and are great for pressing in the sand and dough. Rollers are one of my littles favourites and they make beautiful prints, especially in the sand. The butterfly stone is gorgeous and has gone on many adventures with us, and been shown to many real butterflies in the garden.
This box is perfect for all different sensory adventures and work beautifully together and as their own pieces. This is one of our favourite boxes!

Both my boys (3 and 6) love sensory play and this box comes with everything you need! The play dough smells amazing, has a great smooth texture and the other bits are high-quality as well! Highly recommend!

My son loves his subscription boxes, we always look forward to our new box of goodies each month! Everything is always beautifully put together with such care and every detail is perfect! Thank you for making our play so much easier!🙌💕

This box is absolutely beautiful, everything was packaged so nicely and we have had so much play out of it already! Perfect as ever, thank you!💕🥰

Delivery is super quick and it was beautifully packaged with safe, high quality items that I know my little one will love using in his play again and again! Customer service is amazing too, they really do value their customers and it shows in the thought and care that goes into the boxes each month! Thank you so much! 🤩

We bought these a couple of months ago and they have been played with almost every day since! My son loves this set, we’ve used the Gem Cubes for so many different games and activities. Super quick delivery and packaging was beautiful. Thank you so much!

This wonderful pack has created hours of imaginative, creative play and exploration. The magic sand really is magic!! It’s a great comfort to know my daughter is playing with safe products too.
Shipping was fast and the items were packed beautifully - great customer service. We can't wait to make more purchases and have more fun! Thank you!

The order came quickly and with beautiful, eco-friendly, and secure packaging.
Everything looked beautiful and my son is fascinated by the toys!
