🐰 Meet Poppy the Bunny: Our Playful Sensory Explorer

At Sensory Made Simple, we know sensory play isn’t just about fun—it’s about helping kids connect with their world through hands-on discovery. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce you to one of our new brand characters…

🌈 Meet Poppy!

Poppy is a bright, curious bunny who loves to explore every texture, color, and sound she can find. Her whiskers twitch with excitement when she squishes dough, runs her paws through rainbow rice, or digs for treasures in a sensory bin.

Poppy is a sensory seeker—she thrives on movement, textures, and trying new things. But she also understands that sometimes new experiences can feel a little uncertain, so she always explores at her own pace (and encourages her friends to do the same).

💛 Poppy’s Story

When Poppy was little, she discovered the magic of sensory play while digging in her garden. She noticed how the soil felt cool in the morning, how water splashed on her paws, and how flower petals were soft and delicate. That day, she decided she wanted to explore everything with her senses.

Now, Poppy travels with her very own sensory adventure kit, which includes:

• A small scoop for rice, beans, and sand

• A magnifying glass for tiny treasures

• Playdough in all the colors of the rainbow

• A pair of soft gloves for days when textures feel “too much”

🧠 What Poppy Teaches

Poppy helps kids discover the joy in exploring and experimenting—without pressure. She encourages:

• Curiosity (“What happens if I mix these two textures?”)

• Confidence in trying new sensory experiences

• Problem-solving through play

• Celebrating differences in how we explore the world

✨ How Poppy Fits Into Your Day

In this month’s subscription box, you’ll see Poppy leading hands-on play invitations, encouraging texture exploration, and sparking creativity in your sensory centers. She might even pop up with special “Try This!” prompts for your child to enjoy.

When it’s time to dig in, Poppy says:

“Every day’s an adventure when you play your way!”
