At Goodnight Fox, we believe in providing your little ones with the most authentic and engaging play experiences. That's why we've gone the extra mile by including a variety of additional props - like the felt dumplings from @pockets.of.sweetness - to truly enhance the sensory aspect of this dramatic play setup. But we didn't stop there! We've also added real boba toppings such as tapioca pearls, aloe vera chunks, and almond pudding, ensuring that your child's sensory tub will be filled with a thrilling range of textures and fun.
One of the highlights of this boba bubble team themed play setup is the opportunity for your kids to become master boba tea creators. They'll be able to scoop their favorite toppings and pour the tea, experimenting with different combinations to create their own unique concoctions. This not only encourages creativity, but also promotes fine motor skills and sensory exploration.
