What's all this about?

Your toddler’s first lab mates.

Your first mom/dad crew.

✨ What is Sensory Play?

It’s science, disguised as joyful chaos. 🧪

Why it matters:

  • Builds brain connections for focus, resilience + problem-solving (future life skills)

  • Sparks creativity, scientific inquiry + curiosity

  • Strengthens connection. Co-regulation with you = emotional regulation for your tiny human

And the best part? You don’t have to clean it off your ceiling when you do it in with us. 🌈

✨ Tiny Sparks for Big Feelings

Bright Sparks Newsletter with weekly bite-sized notes with humor, science, and compassion for toddler chaos.

Tantrums? Tower crashes? We call it bounce-back training.

🌈 Joy, Diversity, Community
Every family belongs, every child shines.

Real-World Parenting Wins ⚡

This is such a niche, and one Silicon Valley parents are going to love. It makes kids wonder about the world instead of just watching someone else do it.

I was so badly craving one-on-one time with my ‘big kid’ after having the newborn. This is where we connect. I love being a part of these little moments of discovery. 💖
— Bright Sparks Mom
You’re inspiring young kids to love science and ask questions. Even if a lesson doesn’t go as planned, they still learn and have fun. That’s rare.
— Bright Sparks Mom

What’s in it for you? 💖

One glorious hour where someone else says “noooo, don’t lick that.” And if they do lick the science, it’s safe.

A peer group for your toddler — finally, another tiny human who loves bubbles as much.

A parent crew for you — because sometimes the real experiment is finding your people.
