SAN MATEO, Calif. - s4story -- As families head into the busiest shopping season of the year, Meemzy Magic is highlighting the growing role of sensory play as both a joyful holiday gift and a healthy everyday educational tool for childhood development. With pediatric experts and news reports  sharing concerns on screen time, attention challenges, and emotional regulation in young children, sensory play is emerging as one of the more beneficial activities parents can introduce at home.

Meemzy Magic, a mom-founded small business creating eco-friendly sensory play kits, offers children a way to learn, self-regulate, and express creativity without relying on screens or overstimulating toys. Founder Jennifer Stalley Crenshaw first discovered sensory play's value when her daughter needed meaningful engagement while Crenshaw balanced the demands of work, home, and parenthood during the covid pandemic when socializing was limited. "When children engage in sensory play, parents can have peace of mind knowing they're offering their child a beneficial experience and connection," she says.

Child development research shows that sensory play supports cognitive growth, language development, problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and motor coordination. During the holiday season, when children often experience overstimulation from travel, events, and new toys, sensory play provides a calming, structured activity that helps them stay grounded.

Parents are also seeking healthier, more sustainable gift options. Meemzy Magic sensory kits are made in the USA and designed with eco-conscious materials. They are inclusive, non-gendered, easy to set up, and easy to clean, making them a thoughtful alternative to plastic-heavy toys that offer only momentary entertainment. Many families use the kits not only on Christmas morning, but throughout the year for after-school play, travel activities, or moments when their child needs help managing big emotions. It was also recently tested and recognized by leading health news source Everyday Health as a top holiday present to give children this year.
