Sensory Mix Toolkit

Make sensory mixes you're actually proud of.

Four guides that take you from patchy first batch to mixes that look like the ones you've been saving!

I started colouring pasta and making sensory bins 5 years ago during the pandemic to keep my youngest busy.

My first batches were rough. Dull colour, clumps, dye that came off on her hands. I assumed I’d bought the wrong ingredients and spent a small fortune trying different ones.

That wasn’t it. The ingredients are the easy part, most of them are at the grocery store. It’s the technique nobody tells you about.

Once I figured that out, the mixes started looking like the ones I’d been saving on Instagram.

Most of the people using these guides aren’t running a shop. They’re moms making mixes for their own kids, people selling a few bags to friends, teachers and daycares putting bins together. Some do go on to build a business, this is where they started too. But you don’t have to want any of that for it to be worth having!

These are the four things I’d hand my beginner self.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Perfectly Coated ($17 value)

My exact step-by-step process for smooth, bright, even colour on every base. The ratios that stop clumping, and the mistakes most makers don’t know they’re making.

Paint Smart: A Safety Guide ($7 value)

Which paints are safe to use, which ones I won’t touch, and how to answer the question everyone asks.

Sensory Mix Cost Calculator ($7 value)

Plug in your ingredients, your packaging and your time. It tells you exactly what to charge so you’re not accidentally working for free.

Sensory Mix Label Template Bundle ($27 value)

Pre-sized, drag-and-drop Canva labels so your bags look like a real shop from your very first batch.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

• Your colour keeps coming out patchy, dull, or streaky

• You’re not sure which paints are actually safe for your kids to touch

• You make mixes for your own kids and want them to look as good as the ones you’ve saved

• You want to sell a few bags and have no idea what to charge

• You want your bags to look professional from the very first batch

THIS PROBABLY ISN’T FOR YOU IF

• You’ve already nailed your colouring technique

• You’re after recipes rather than technique (my Vault has those!)

• You want someone to do it for you

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

• A mix with smooth, even, vibrant colour

• Confidence about the paint you’re using

• A real price for your mixes, based on your actual costs

• Labels that make your bags look like a shop
