Horchata Matcha

“Clean” Sensory Play
“I love your activities but they’re just too messy for me.” I get this message a lot. And I get it. Sensory play can be messy. But that’s part of how kiddos use their senses to explore. So, for all my clean mamas out there, this activity is for you! The best part of a […]
