Tissue box sensory play (FREE)

Kasie has a love affair with anything paper, especially tissue. She loves pulling them out from the box, lick it, eat it and gives big smile as though she has struck lottery.

So, I decided to keep empty tissue boxes and stuff it with (washed) fabric scraps so Kasie could play, munch, chew, gnaw with them instead. This is a cheap, green and free(!) toy.

Tip: You can include fabrics of various textures e.g. leather, cotton, sequins for more sensory play.

We have been living in a society of meritocracy and that has resulted in the search for obtaining better results. There’s nothing  wrong about improving [...]
