Make & Play Sensory Recipes

Simple recipes. Real play. Capable kids.

Welcome to Make & Play - a collection of easy sensory play recipes designed to help children explore, create, regulate, and build confidence through hands-on play.

Including homemade play-dough, moon sand and rainbow rice, with more messy play ideas to come soon, these recipes are made for real families, using simple ingredients and simple steps.

Created with independence in mind, each activity encourages kids to join in, help make, explore textures, build skills, and enjoy play in a way that feels fun and achievable.
