Designed especially for parents who are new to sensory play, this kit makes it feel simple, approachable, and meaningful. Every piece has been intentionally chosen with little hands in mind— thoughtful, versatile materials that invite your child to explore, create, and learn through play.

Open-ended play means there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to play—just endless opportunities for imagination, problem-solving, and connection. With this kit as your starting point, you’ll be able to offer engaging sensory experiences that grow with your child.

The Starter Kit is your foundation—gentle, supportive, and ready to inspire.

Frequently asked questions

What about safety?

Our kits are thoughtfully designed for children ages 3 and up. Every material has been chosen with little hands in mind—from wooden tools and natural fillers to non-toxic watercolor paints and plant-based dyes used for coloring. While all materials are non-toxic, some small parts may pose a choking hazard, so we recommend close adult supervision during play. Some families enjoy adapting the materials for younger toddlers, and we encourage you to decide what feels right for your child’s stage and always supervise closely.

Do you offer gift options?

Yes! You can send a Little Minds kit directly to another family. At checkout, simply enter their shipping address instead of yours. We don’t include pricing in the box, and you’re welcome to add a gift message so your recipient knows it’s from you.

What is your return policy?

Because our kits include a variety of sensory and play materials, we are unable to accept returns once an order has shipped. We take great care in packing each kit, but if anything arrives damaged or defective, please reach out within 7 days of delivery and we’ll be happy to make it right.

Do you offer pickup and how much does shipping cost?

Yes! We’re happy to offer free local pickup for customers in Brownsville, TX. 

If you’d like to arrange a pickup, just select that option at checkout. For shipping, costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your order. We always do our best to keep shipping as affordable as possible.

Where are your products manufactured?

At this time, Little Minds does not manufacture its own products. Instead, we carefully source and curate each material from trusted suppliers and makers. Fillers are hand-dyed and assembled by us here in the U.S., and every item is chosen with intention to reflect our values—simple, meaningful, and thoughtfully designed for little hands.

Do you offer bilingual resources?

Yes! All of our activity guides and flashcards are available in both English and Spanish. As a bilingual family ourselves, we value creating resources that help children learn in both languages. We believe play is for everyone, and offering bilingual materials helps families connect and learn together in meaningful ways.

Can I buy fillers or additional materials?

At this time, our kits are sold as complete sets. As we grow, we hope to offer themed fillers and add-on options so you can continue to expand your play collection and keep the fun fresh. Be sure to follow along for updates!
