Frequently Asked Questions
How do your sensory kits help with child development?
Our sensory play kits are designed to encourage hands-on learning, emotional regulation, and cognitive growth. By engaging in screen-free activities, children develop important skills like focus, mindfulness, and creativity, while also improving fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
What makes your playdough different from others?
Our playdough stands out because it’s handmade in small batches using organic, non-toxic, taste-safe ingredients—safe for little hands and curious minds. Unlike mass-produced options, our dough is soft, long-lasting, and naturally scented to enhance sensory exploration. Designed by child development experts, it supports emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and imaginative play while aligning with therapeutic goals. It’s more than just dough, it’s a purposeful tool to help children relax, focus, and grow through play.
How do your storybooks support emotional intelligence in kids?
Our storybooks are written by a psychology graduate and mother of two—including one neurodivergent child—which brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to each story. Every book introduces an important emotional or behavioral concept, such as anxiety, confidence, empathy, or resilience, and presents it in a playful, child-friendly way. Through relatable characters, real-life challenges, and simple therapeutic strategies, we help children understand and express their emotions while giving parents a practical tool to spark meaningful conversations. It’s storytelling with purpose, designed to nurture emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and emotional growth in kids.
Why is screen-free play important for my child?
Screen-free play is vital for healthy child development, as supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which recommends limiting screen time and encouraging hands-on, imaginative play. According to the AAP, unstructured, screen-free play helps children develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills, improves self-regulation, and strengthens parent-child bonds. It also supports language development, attention span, and problem-solving abilities, critical foundations for learning. By engaging in sensory-rich, real-world play, children build essential life skills that screens alone cannot provide, making screen-free time a key part of growing up healthy and balanced.
What age group are your products designed for?
Our products are thoughtfully designed for children ages 3+ , with a special focus on supporting early childhood through preteen development. Each kit is crafted to be developmentally appropriate, engaging, and beneficial for a wide range of needs including neurotypical children and those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or other emotional challenges. The activities promote age-appropriate skills such as emotional regulation, focus, creativity, and social interaction, making them ideal for use at home, in classrooms, or in therapeutic settings.
Do you offer parenting resources to help with emotional growth?
Happy Hands sensory kits are uniquely grounded in child psychology and therapeutic practices, making them more than just fun play experiences. Each kit is designed by a psychology graduate and mom of a neurodivergent child, with every element; playdough, toys, and storybooks and a parent guide carefully selected to support emotional regulation, resilience, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Our kits incorporate evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness in a playful, approachable way. Unlike typical sensory kits, Happy Hands provides parents with guided tools and therapeutic storytelling to help children build real-life emotional skills while they play, creating purposeful moments of connection and growth.
