Princesses and Super Heroes Event: TBA
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 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! 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. WARNING: 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)
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! 👏❤️🤸🏾♀️💃🏻😍
