THE WonderTree STORY
In May 2024, I imagined kids, including my own, at a park fully immersed in sensory and messy play.
Experiencing the joy of creating something with their hands or the squishy feeling of something between their toes.
THAT level of messy!
As a former Montessori teacher and now mom, I have grown to love messy play as a powerful tool for development and connection for children.
That's why I created WonderTree- to bring this vision to life and foster a community that cherishes sensorial, free play.

TRAY DESIGN strategy
Each WonderTree tray is thoughtfully designed to invite exploration, sensorial sensations, and even a little destruction. These trays offer children the freedom to play and engage in ways that might not always be possible at home. Little ones are welcome to dive in—literally—exploring at their own pace while practicing respect for others around them. Every tray is made with taste-safe, food-grade materials, ensuring even the youngest explorers can safely enjoy the experience. From the textures to the colors, each element is carefully chosen to spark interest in children of all ages.
THE WONDERTREE experience
WonderTree is a “yes space” where children take the lead. Each sensory tray is intentionally open-ended, inviting little ones to explore, create, and play in their own unique ways. Often, their ideas and creativity go beyond what we as adults could plan or envision.
By giving them the time and space to explore at their own pace, children can fully embrace the joy of discovery through sensory play. And yes - it's very, very messy!
