Bella and I are so pleased to share our first sensory book kit collaboration with Alyssa Hanes of Teenie Tots Play Shop and Hillary Kelley of Hillary’s Handcrafted Happiness.
Sensory learning toys are wonderful way to allow children to be creative while also developing their fine motor skills. Inspired by the sensory learning space, I was drawn array products that Alyssa and Hillary provide through their shops to enhance daily playtime for children. The play dough and fillers created by Alyssa and the handcrafted wooden pieces designed by Hillary allow children to express their creativity while also enhancing their fine motor skills of grasping, eye hand coordination, and more!

Meet Hillary!
As the owner and designer of Hillary’s Handcrafted Happiness, Hillary’s passion for wood making began when she started making wood furniture for both herself and other families on the military bases she grew up on. When she became a mother, she started seeking ways to combine her passion for wood design with her love for teaching. This combination lead to the start of Hillary’s Handcrafted Happiness!
Hillary began designing wood sensory inserts that encourage learning for children while also fueling her passion for wood design. A mother herself, her sons, ages 5 and 7, are her main product testers :).
Her shop offers a variety of wooden table inserts and accompanying wooden pieces that cover all the holidays and seasons of the year. These pieces are sure to elevate your child’s sensory learning while also keeping them occupied for hours at a time!
