Show HN: Messy Play Kits Sensory Bins
- owenfi 4y agoHi, I think this qualifies for Show HN (despite being my wife's company, not mine, but I can relay and answer questions) since you can hold them in your hands. I figured it was slightly more topical than usual since lentils, beans, and colored rice are in the discussion at the moment. If anyone wants some pre-colored rice she says she could put that bin back in stock.
- theonething 4y agoThis looks neat! I didn't see any mention of the safety of the materials in terms of toxicity, etc. Can you comment on that?
- owenfi 4y agoGood question, definitely a thing she's thought a lot about - I'll see if she can add more details to a FAQ or page. Couple examples I recall: - Some of the earliest kits had beans, that's all been migrated to other non-toxic items (obviously nothing is meant to be eaten in this context, but to make sure the items are safe). - She has a cosmetic-grade ecoglitter supplier (not sure how applicable that is to the Bins, might be more used in the Kits, but still fairly rare!) - Making sure colors/dyes/toys/tools are kid safe to start with. I mentioned it in another thread, but here is a link to the brand of liquid watercolor she uses for just about everything: https://www.discountschoolsupply.com/arts-crafts/paint-paint-tools/watercolor/colorations-liquid-watercolor--paint-rainbow-pack-4-oz---set-of-6/p/35520 https://www.discountschoolsupply.com/arts-crafts/paint-paint...
