Our fan favorite Sensory Play Jar has gotten a mini makeover—say hello to the new Mini Sensory Play Jar! It provides the same calming glow and sensory magic you love but in mini form! It comes in 3 colors: Gumdrop, Blue Lagoon and Firefly. Whether at home, on the go, or winding down for bed, our Mini Sensory Play Jar offers endless opportunities for play, learning, and emotional support. I’d love for you to read along to see how this tiny tool makes such a big impact!
COLOR DISCOVERY
Did you know our Mini Sensory Play Jar cycles through 9 soothing colors?! This has so many benefits for your little one.
Cause and Effect
A really fun aspect of our Mini Jar is that it changes colors when your little one shakes or taps it. This helps children understand cause and effect—realizing that their actions lead to outcomes.
Color Identification
As the jar cycles through all the different hues, it helps with color recognition and identification.
Visual Development
The vibrant, glowing colors captivate attention and stimulate visual tracking and perception, which are essential for early visual development.
Tactile Exploration
Tactile exploration is vital to a child’s development, and our Mini Sensory Play Jar provides a great outlet for your kiddo to experience different tactile input.
Interactive Touch
Not only is the fact that the jar changes colors good visually, it’s also beneficial in that it allows children to explore different types of touch—light to firm tapping or gentle shaking. This helps refine motor control!
Grip Practice
The Mini Jar is designed with soft and easy to hold handles. It is the ideal size for little hands to grasp, squeeze, and carry which supports hand strength and coordination.
Water Play Element
Adding water to activate the glowing light provides a soothing experience. Water play has been proven to calm the nervous system and improve sensory integration.
Travel Buddy
The Mini Sensory Play Jar is the perfect companion to your little one whether you’re out running errands, traveling to visit the grandparents or on a flight.
Portable and Lightweight
Our Mini Jar is more compact than the Original Sensory Play Jar making it the ideal size for travel. It fits well in a backpack or diaper bag and can be pulled out when your little one might be getting restless.
Mess-Free
A huge perk of the Mini Jar is that once the lid is on, it’s child-locked! This means they can play with water without actually getting wet which provides a lot of convenience when you’re on the go.
Quiet Entertainment
The Mini Jar keeps minds and hands busy without having to turn a screen on which is always a win! It encourages independent play and keeps little, fidgety hands occupied.
Calm Down Companion
The movement and glow that the Mini Sensory Play Jar provides such a soothing experience for young kiddos. Whether they’re winding down for the day or dealing with big emotions, it can be used in a variety of ways to aid in routines and emotional regulation.
Night-Light
A really cool aspect of the Mini Sensory Play Jar is that it dims after 10 minutes and powers off after 15 making it the perfect addition to your bedtime routine without fear of the batteries running out.
Mood Matching
Your child can use the Mini Jar as a way to help them explore their feelings. They can tap the jar until the light feels like it matches their mood—calm, excited, frustrated, or anything in between. This helps raise emotional awareness!
Sensory Storytelling
You can use the Mini Jar and its changing colors to initiate magical storytelling — blue, underwater kingdom; green, enchanted forest; red, volcano island. The possibilities are endless!
Whether your kiddo is exploring colors, managing big emotions, or on a storytelling adventure, our Mini Sensory Play Jar offers comfort wherever they go. Our Mini Jar is more than just a toy, it’s a trusted sidekick for playtime, travel, and emotional growth!
