Our sensory filler mixes are handmade using a combination of dry materials such as pasta, rice, beans, chickpeas, pearl couscous, and/or popcorn kernels. Materials may be coloured using AP-approved acrylic paints and/or food colouring, depending on the mix.

Because each mix is handmade in small batches, slight variations in colour, size, shape, and quantity may occur. These are normal characteristics of handmade sensory play materials and make each mix unique.
