Introducing Mermaid Beach twist & squish—a delightful, two‑in‑one playset designed to spark imagination and nurture tiny hands through tactile, sensory fun. One lid hides a mini world of sensory items waiting to be explored, while the other houses our signature Little Munchkins playdough, rich with glitter and a fragrant plum & rhubarb scent. It’s not just play—it’s a hands‑on adventure at the beach, right in your home.
What makes Mermaid Beach twist & squish stand out
This isn’t ordinary dough. It’s a thoughtfully crafted, luxuriously soft, long‑lasting play compound made for little fingers. The mermaid‑themed beach vibe, combined with embedments like clay slices and sparkling glitter, invites children to squeeze, roll, pinch and pat while weaving stories about sunlit shores and magical sea creatures. The dough is scented with a playful plum & rhubarb aroma that adds a multisensory dimension to every squeeze, poke and squish.
What you get
- Two pots in one lid—one side filled with engaging sensory items to ignite pretend play, the other with our Mermaid Beach playdough.
- Plum & rhubarb scented dough with added glitter for extra sparkle.
- Clay slices and other tiny accents to extend storytelling and crafting possibilities.
Why it’s a top pick for kids and caregivers
Little Munchkins Playdough is crafted by a family‑run business with a passion for play. The dough is non‑toxic and food‑grade, designed for safe, independent manipulation—and still best enjoyed with adult supervision. The soft, pliable texture supports fine motor development, while the sensory components boost creativity, language as children describe textures, colors, and scents, and imaginative storytelling skills.
Ideal for
- Children aged 3+ who love sea adventures, mermaids, and glittery crafts.
- Creative play sessions at home, daycare, or school enrichment centers.
- Calming sensory activities that help focus, engage attention, and refine hand‑eye coordination.
How to use and care tips
- Store in the airtight jar provided in a cool, dark place to keep the dough soft and fragrant.
- Expect occasional salt crystals on the surface—this is normal and will reintegrate into the dough with handling.
- Salt‑rich dough is not intended to be eaten; discard after 6 months if stored properly in an airtight container.
- Avoid using plastic wrap directly on the dough to prevent harm; remove any wrappers before play.
