Research suggests that over 80% of a child’s brain has developed by the age of 3! The more we expose babies and children to enriching and stimulating experiences and opportunities, the richer their neural brain networks become. 

Each play box contains 5-6 products which have been carefully selected to meet the developmental needs of your child. Each product has been purposefully chosen to enhance cognitive development, stimulate sensory experiences, support motor skill development, encourage social & emotional development, support language & communication skills, build confidence, spark imagination and inspire creativity. 

Each play box will also include a comprehensive digital play guide, which will include information on each product in your play box, some helpful ideas on how to use each product, and the key developmental benefits for your child, to ensure you are making the most of playtime with your little one.

We continuously update our play box offerings to ensure that they align with the latest developmental research and are guaranteed to bring joy and happiness into your home.

We currently do not offer this as an option, but we are more than happy to bundle and gift wrap a selection of products for you or your recipient.

Please note - when purchasing individual products from our collection, you won’t receive a digital play guide with them. Our play guides have been developed specifically for our range of carefully curated play boxes.

If you are purchasing additional products, just let us know in the notes section when you check out whether you would like the additional product/s included inside the play box and we will see what we can do.  

All of our play boxes have been curated with a careful selection of products in mind, in order to target specific areas of your child’s development.

When you buy one of our play boxes, you will also receive a comprehensive digital play guide, which will include information on each product in your play box, some helpful ideas on how to use each product, and the key developmental benefits for your child, to ensure you are making the most of playtime with your little one.

However, we do also sell all of our products individually! We also sell a range of other developmental and educational toys and games that can purchased individually, or can be added to your play box. Please see our website for our full range of products!

Please reach out to us at hello@spoonfulofsensory.com.au and we will see what is possible.

No, while the products in each play box have been selected for a specific developmental period, your little one will likely enjoy them long after that period has passed!

Whilst we provide age recommendations for each play box, please remember that these are not definitive timelines, as each child explores and develops at their own pace.

Where possible, we have tried to source our products from other small businesses based in Australia. Some of our products are sourced from brands you may already know and love, while others have been handmade with love by clever creatives.

Yes - your child’s safety is our priority. When purchasing from us, you can be sure you are buying a product that has been tested and certified to be safe for your baby/child.

All of our products comply with Australian/New Zealand Safety Standards (AS/NZS 8124), European Safety Standards (EN 71), American Safety Standards (ASTM F963) or International Safety Standards (ISO 8124).

Please adhere to the specific safety information and warnings for each product and always use under adult supervision. Some of our products contain small parts which could pose a choking hazard for young children.

Whilst we provide age recommendations for each play box and product, please remember that these are not definitive timelines, as each child explores and develops at their own pace. These age recommendations do not take into account individual factors such as a child’s physical and cognitive skills and abilities, so please keep this in mind when introducing the play items to your baby or child. Age ratings are a guide only – you know your child best so please use your discretion.

It is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect all products before each use to ensure there are no signs of wear, tear or damage. Please discard the product at the first sign of any wear, tear or damage.
