Hands On As We Grow
Sensory play and hands-on activities designed around how toddlers actually learn
Hands On As We Grow stands out for its consistent emphasis on sensory play and the developmental reasoning behind it. Jamie Reimer explains not just what to do but why it matters — what a particular activity builds, what milestone it supports — which makes the content genuinely educational for parents, not just a list of things to do. The email list is one of the best in the parenting space: consistent, curated, and actually useful.
✓ Pros
- Strong emphasis on sensory play — especially valuable for toddlers in the tactile-learning phase
- Posts explain the developmental why behind each activity, not just the how
- Email list delivers curated activity ideas directly to parents on a consistent schedule
✕ Cons
- Sensory play activities often require setup and cleanup that isn't always realistic on busy weekdays
- Smaller archive than some older competitors
