Introduce a type of play that helps stimulates and activates your child's senses.
Hello, I’m Lauren
Mum to a gorgeous little girl and we love all things sensory play! I have a background in science and animal welfare, love animals even the creepy crawlies.
Our sensory kits will engage and immerse your little one in the world of opened ended play. Watch as they use the tools to develop their fine motor skills and as they investigate, create and discover all the different textures. But most of all have fun and learn through play!
Let customers speak for us
This is our absolute favourite fizz! All the colours and the big fluffy bubbles are so much fun. It also lasts us a decent while (depending on how much gets dumped into an epic play). Will always buy this fizz!
These Easter Dough Cutters are so cute and unique to Curious By Nature, I love all the different shapes! You can use them with dough or fill them with all the colourful bases!
My toddler loved the saltwater fizz and it’s such good value for money too . Endless open play options
Wow what a beautiful Easter 🐣 Sensory Kit, the pastel colours are so beautiful, so soft and smooth with the added Easter trinkets such a delight! One of my Grandsons loved playing and sorting all the different colours into separate bowls. This kit will be bought out every Easter!
The beautiful shell is so versatile! Have used it with both dry bases and in messy play. It's the perfect size for scoop and pour play and perfect for little and sometimes rough hands!
If your kids love frozen, then this made you would not want to miss out on! Pretty pieces and much shine for your little one to create magic and imagination.. in my review I have added extra pieces.
Quality is amazing as handcrafted, bought 1 and couldn’t resist to buy another 2.

We love our new bamboo play tray. We use it as a play tray but also a tray to pop things like remotes on when not in use. Very versatile, we love it!
My Grandson Harvey loved setting up the latest Halloween pour n play Haunting Hues Sensory Kit from Curious By Nature Sensory Play, he was delighted with all the little Spookies, he loved sorting the golden and purple pieces into seperate bowls, I also had fun with him too helping him with the sorting 🧡💜
I can’t wait for my other Grandkids to come and play with this delightful kit!
