Two much-loved Australian children's brands have collaborated to bring you the NEW 'Feelings Cube', a toy designed to help little ones learn about and deal with big emotions. Two Little Ducklings are known for their range of flash cards that inspire kids to learn and record memories. Jellystone Designs is an award winning brand that works with silicone creating sensory toys. 

Children learn through play. Through play, they can unlock key developmental milestones and access new skills; problem solving, hand-eye coordination, critical thinking and more! This play can take many forms, it can be structured or unstructured, self-directed or guided, planned or unplanned. This dichotomy is often what perturbs parents when they are buying toys for their kids: 

Don't you hate it when you're on the floor playing with your toddler for hours on end but when you check the clock it's only been 10 minutes! At Jellystone, we really want to help to change that. We want playtime to be fun and a time where you can really connect. 

Play. It’s one of the most natural things for a child to want to do. This is because it is arguably the most instinctive (and fun) way for them to learn about themselves and the world. By fostering their curiosity, play suspends reality and opens up new possibilities for creativity and connection. So how can play be used to help children build connections with others and the world around them? 

Sensory bottles have been used by parents, teachers and therapists to help children self-regulate their breathing and thoughts, and improve their focus. With the help of Cindy from Your Kids OT, we have come up with 7 ways to soothe your child and help them focus using our DIY Calm Down Bottle.
