Boring afternoons are made exciting with awesome animal-based bins, like Salty Shark Bay or Yarn Farm.

Play is at the core of learning during the early years and it can take many forms. One of the most important of these is sensory play because it engages all of a child’s senses (taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing) and has a enoumous positive impact on brain development.
