Sensory play is magical, and we cannot wait for this popular event! We are excited to craft great, sensory-packed events throughout the year, and our April BIG event is “Princesses and Superheroes.”
👉 Kids love messy sensory play and so do we. Be prepared for lots of fun...your little (and you!) will LOVE it! As always, YOUR favorite part will be that you will have all the fun but the MESS stays with us. 🙌 Adults always play FREE, so you only need tickets for participating children.
Our events are chock-full of sensory play, sensory walks, pretend play, and more!

LOCATION: Our pop-up play events take place at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Gardner, Kansas. (136 E. Washington, Gardner, KS). We are located in the "Open Class Exhibits" Building near the corner of Elm and Washington. We are just north of a large church and near the playground. Some Navigation Apps take you to a middle school close to the event instead of the event, so pease leave a few extra minutes to find your way! We have good directions on our Location Page. (See Location Page for Details)
Tickets are non-refundable. If you cannot make it to your session, please feel free to share (or sell) your ticket with a friend.
We hope to see you there. We are SO EXCITED to play! 👏❤️🤸🏾♀️💃🏻😍
