We are all ANTSY to enjoy the flowers, bugs and FUN that spring brings! Come celebrate and PLAY with us and enjoy some messy sensory fun that celebrates all the things we love about spring. As always, YOUR favorite part will be that you will have all the fun but the MESS stays with us.
Our events are chock-full of sensory play, sensory walks, pretend play, and more! Follow us on Facebook (Purpose Play) and Instagram (@PurposePlayKC) to get updates about station plans as they are released. Our sessions fill up, so make sure to grab your tickets early, especially if you have a preferred session time.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Each month's play session includes a variety of sensory stations that you and your child can enjoy at your own pace. We also usually include a special "break out" station (like a sensory walk or art project). Trust us...your child will LOVE this event!
Our play can be messy at times (thank goodness!), so please dress your little in play clothes. Our events are geared towards 5 and under. Older kids have lots of fun at our events as well. Please plan to monitor your child(ren) at all times. Our play does involve many small pieces, so please use caution if your child is in the "I put everything in my mouth" stage. We always want to make sure everyone stays safe! For more Q&A, check out our FAQs.
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)

BRING SENSORY PLAY HOME! - Products available for Pick Up
Easter Basket Add-Ins | Sensory Dough + Your Choice of Theme
Only a few left!
We love Easter baskets filled with candy as much as the next person (maybe more??), but can you imagine how much your Little will LOVE discovering these engaging, delightful sensory play kits on Easter morning?
We have TWO OPTIONS available for Olathe/Belton, MO pick-up:
- Bunnies and Carrots and Chicks...OH MY! This kit starts with dazzling, "grassy" sensory dough and celebrates all things spring with the addition of three see-through eggs. Each egg has a matching add-in (e.g. the bunny egg has a little bunny inside). The activities are endless, but we love the idea of working on matching skills with this adorable kit. It's sure to have your Little hopping for joy!
- Bitty Resurrection Set We ADORE the "big kid" version of a dozen Resurrection Eggs, but honestly, it can be a bit complicated for young kids. We simplified the idea down to three eggs and added "grassy" sensory dough. We are also including a natural fiber palm "tomb" with a stone that can be rolled away, and a quick guide explaining the meaning of each egg. This is a perfect way to introduce the Easter Story to your child, and it lends itself to sensory play, story retelling, and much more!
DOWN LOW ON THE DOUGH: This sensory dough is SO fun to play with! It looks a bit like play-doh on first glance, but it's different in feel and texture. This will stay good for a few weeks if stored in an airtight container. If it gets dry, you can add water a tiny bit at a time to get it back in shape. To have the best experience for you and your littles, we recommend that you use this as a limited-time dough. It has a max shelf life of about a month.
PICK UP: These kits are available for porch pick up in Olathe the week before Easter (Tuesday April 16-Thursday April 18) OR in Belton, MO on Thursday April 18th from 12-1 BY ARRANGEMENT. If you would like to pick up in Belton, please contact us after you order to let us know and to make arrangements. If you don't contact us, we will assume you are picking up in Olathe.
PLEASE NOTE: These kits contain small parts that are not suitable for use by children under age three. Please supervise your child while they play with these kits!
