Dinosaur Sensory Box

Dinosaur Sensory Box is a tactile, imagination-fueled playset designed to spark curiosity and build tiny motor skills through hands-on exploration. Designed for little palaeontologists and creative builders alike, this box delivers a mess-friendly, hands-on experience that blends dinosaur-themed play with sensory learning.

What’s inside

• 1 x Hot Chocolate
• 1 x Holly Green standard size loose parts set (note: some items may vary in style or colour)
• Cutter and dinosaur-themed tools to shape and explore
• 1 x Rolling pin — style will vary
• 1 x 8oz tub chickpeas for textured sensory play
• Little Munchkins Playdough — deliciously scented, long-lasting and luxuriously soft

What makes this box unique

Unlike generic play kits, this Dinosaur Sensory Box combines tactile dough play with real-world manipulatives that invite open-ended exploration. The playdough is handcrafted with little hands in mind, delivering a creamy, pliable texture that toddlers and preschoolers love to squeeze, pinch, pat, and squash. The inclusion of dinosaurs and physical tools makes it ideal for imaginative scenarios—from building fossil digs to recreating a prehistoric landscape.

Benefits and use cases

• Fine motor development: pinching dough, rolling with the pin, and shaping with cutters strengthen hand muscles and coordination.
• Sensory richness: varied textures (smooth dough, gritty chickpeas) plus the gentle scents of Little Munchkins Playdough create multi-sensory engagement.
• Imaginative play: encourage pretend fossil hunts, dinosaur duels, or snack-time storytelling with the included items.
• Calm, focused play: tactile activities can help toddlers transition between activities or wind down before naps.
• Creative problem solving: kids experiment with mixing textures, layering colours, and designing their own prehistoric world.

Who is this for?

Ideal for children aged 3+ who enjoy hands-on exploration, pretend play, and sensory activities. Adult supervision is recommended to supervise play with the dough and small parts. This box is perfect for home play, homeschooling moments, or as a standout gift for curious minds.

Care, safety, and notes

• Little Munchkins Playdough is non-toxic and food-grade, but has a high salt content and is not intended for eating.
• Store dough in the airtight jar provided and keep in a cool, dark place.
• Salt crystals may occasionally appear on the dough surface; this is normal and will reabsorb with handling.
• Allergen information: contains wheat, salt, food colouring, cream of tartar, vegetable oil, and essential oil. Does not contain nuts, dairy, eggs, or soy, but is handmade in a facility that handles those items, so cross-contamination could occur.
• If color or style variations occur, it’s simply part of our hand-crafted approach to keeping the kit fresh and exciting.

Why choose this box over alternatives

This kit thoughtfully combines sensory dough play with durable, reusable tools and dinosaur-themed motifs, creating a cohesive play experience rather than a collection of random trinkets. The emphasis on texture, scent, and tactile manipulation helps with sensory processing, language development, and imaginative storytelling, all while you watch your child build confidence through creative play.
