Fun in a box!
βMy 6-year-old neurodivergent, homeschooled daughter loves these monthly sensory boxes! She gets so excited to explore everything inside and feels a real sense of accomplishment after completing each activity. The instructions are clearly laid out for the adult, which makes setup super easy for me.β

Perfect for any age'
βMy 2.5 year old daughter loves her box! She was so excited to play with it. She finished the box in couple days. Such a great idea if you are trying to do free screen time. This also helps them with their fine motor skills! Ones you get a box you will be hooked!β

Fantastic idea for little kids!
βAs a former school teacher, I will say both myself and my toddler LOVE our Skill Sprouts box! He asks for his activity box every single day. Our box came with 20 thought out activities that develop many different skills for your little one. It included all of the pieces and materials needed for each activity, a QR scan code to explain each activity, and a cute little game type board to use to show completion. My son has done many of the activities over and over and he is never bored with it. I would recommend Skill Sprouts to any parent who is looking to have a more hands on activity learning with their child! You are guaranteed to have a great time learning with these boxes.β

Love it!
βHighly recommend SkillSprouts OT monthly boxes! They are jam packed with fun, engaging, themed fine motor activities! As a homeschool mom that knows how important fine motor skills, I love how these boxes do all the planning and prep for me! She also includes detailed descriptions of each activity and what skills it is targeting! I SO appreciate how responsive Ms Sam has been answering any questions and helping me adapt activities based on my kids specific strengths/weaknesses!β

Convenient, Curated, Quality!
βThis is the sweetest little box of goodies! My son enjoyed all the activities. It is wonderful to have fun ways to practice fine motor skills (something that has historically been a challenge for him.) I love that there are so many activities ready to go. I donβt have to plan, gather materials, etc. definitely worth the purchase!β
