Our Story
A sensory box that stands out from the rest.
Introducing my boy Jack! My business partner and the real face behind My Sensory Mind.
​
Our sensory journey began with Jacks ASD diagnosis. After hours of OT sessions, we discovered the power of sensory play and started making our set ups together at home.
​
It was Jack that asked if we could start selling our sensory play and from there My Sensory Mind was started
​
Our business name represents Jacks neurodiversity and the sensory ways he experiences the world around him.
​
Jack is the sensory expert behind our products! Together we brainstorm play kit ideas and search for stock items.
​
Our sensory kits are designed for everyone! We have a team of play experts (our neighborhood friends) boys and girls aged from 2 to 12 of all abilities that try and test each new kit. Their feedback is vital to our final design.
​
Our aim is to promote child development through sensory play by creating affordable products that capture children's interest. Each item in our sensory play kits is designed with a purpose, to promote learning through play.
​
Whilst I do the majority of the work Jack reminds me that he is the boss of the business and enjoys roblox as his reward of the hours I spend working on our dream.
The advantages of engaging in sensory play.
Encourages the development of cognitive abilities, physical coordination, emotional regulation, social skills, creativity, problem-solving, language and math skills, as well as sensory processing.
WHY PLAY MATTERS
Open-ended play is imaginative and unstructured. It allows children to play freely without set rules, allowing their imagination to direct their play. Open-ended play provides a child with independence to explore their world and provides developmental benefits for their individual growth. Children learn through play! Play increases cognitive, physical, social and emotional development.
