K I N E T I C S A N D ✨ Also known as moon sand or cloud dough, this fun and versatile sensory material is a favourite in our play sessions and can easily be made at home!

Kids love the smooth, silky texture that moulds and crumbles with ease. It provides sensory stimulation, helps develop fine motor skills, improves hand-eye coordination, and boosts concentration. Plus, it encourages imaginative play as children create different shapes and structures.

Sometimes, the best part is simply running their fingers through it—sand play can be incredibly soothing, giving them the freedom to explore at their own pace. ✨

S P A G H E T T I 🐙 Sensory play is all about using simple materials in creative ways! Kids had a blast cutting, pulling, tasting and playing with the squishy strands. Great for fine motor skills and plenty of sensory fun. Sometimes the simplest things create the most joy!

Sweet, messy, and oh-so-sensory! 🍉🍓🍊 Our little ones got to explore textures, smells, and tastes with this fun watermelon, berries and citrus fruits setup. Add some herbs, edible flowers and water squeeze bottles, and it’s a perfect blend of fine motor practice and sensory exploration! 💦

Hi! I'm Aga, and I set up Playful Tribe in November 2023. With a background in psychology, education, and as a postpartum and infant care specialist, I've always been passionate about supporting families and helping kids thrive. I live in Bettystown with my wonderful family and our dog (my first baby!). My journey has taken me across many countries, each enriching my experience and perspective.

The idea for Playful Tribe was inspired by the sensory and messy play I did with my daughter. Seeing how much joy and developmental growth these activities brought her, I wanted to create a space where other families could experience the same benefits.

At Playful Tribe, our sessions are thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and learning, all through play. I understand that not everyone has the time or inspiration to set up these activities at home, and sometimes it's just nice to get out and connect with other families in the community. That's why I created Playful Tribe - a place where kids can learn and have fun, while parents enjoy quality time with their little ones without worrying about the cleanup!

What started as an idea during my career break has quickly grown into something truly special. I can't wait to share this playful journey with you and your little ones!
