A Message To You
A business inspired by my little boy born August 2020. Due baby sensory development classes on hold
SELLING LIKE HOT CROSS BUNS 🌈
🖤 These beautiful sensory rainbow ribbon rings have proved very popular this week, thank you to everyone who has bought one!
🤍 They are one of my favourite items that come in each Rainbow Sensory Box… your little ones will love shaking them to music watching the ribbons dance… Doctor Montessori said, “Movement with purpose is crucial for brain development.” These items are perfect for sensory play right from birth up to an older child.
Please DM to order.
Rainbow sensory box - £22
Rainbow ribbon ring - £6
❤️💛💗💙🧡💜💚
🖤All ribbon lengths are cut to the recommended length in accordance with Toy Safety guidelines and also sealed at the ends. All wooden rings are smooth and made with food safe, BPA-free material.
EASTER EGG HUNT NECESSITIES FOR UNDER £10
🖤 All items in the reel come to £9.99 🖤
🖤 All items can also be reused every Easter until Rudy is too cool for an Easter egg hunt… except the egg of course! 🖤
🐣 Bamboo Basket - £2
🥚 Plastic refillable eggs - £3.99
I know my little one is going to get sooooo much chocolate that I wanted to get something that was fun to find but not chocolate! As these are refillable so I’m sure as he gets older they will be filled!
🐰 Bunny ears - £2.50
It’s the absolute right of a parent of a small child to dress them up as you wish lol! These I am going to use every year until he lets me!
🍫 Dairy milk mini egg egg - £1.50
I was so happy with what had to offer! Everything was beautiful, well made and a low price!
🤍 For my Cardiff followers this haul was done at the Morrisons in Llanishen yesterday and they had plenty of stock 🤍
I actually forgot how fun Barry Island could be…
🖤 I love a full day out that really costs nothing at all, times are hard at the moment so we all need reminding of places like this where fun can be had and memories can be made without an entry fee!
🤍 Yesterday we spent hours there, eating fish and chips (Boofys is the best!), pointing out EVERY seagull and dog, riding the shows (which now on the front they have an area deigned just for little people!), we explored the big pleasure park, played football on the grass and did the coastal walk around to Jackson’s Bay.
🖤 Features:
Sea and sand
Chips, donuts, Ice cream
Large fun fair and a mini one
Crazy golf
Amusement arcades
Shops selling everything you need at the seaside from buckets and spades to giant foot balls!
Grassed areas to play
Beautiful walks and views
**** FREEBIES FOR EASTER 🐣****
🖤🤍 Every Black and White or Rainbow Sensory Box bought between now and Easter Sunday will come with one of these sensory Easter egg shakers for free!!! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 Shake these eggs to create a noise that your little star will love! We were using ours in the kitchen this morning dancing at breakfast, Rudy loved it and I had just as much fun!! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 Each box costs £22. Please DM to order 🤍🖤
ROOOOAAAAARR!!!!!!!!!
🖤 It has been such a long time since I visited Cardiff Museum, I used to love going there as a child and it certainly didn’t disappoint! 🖤
🤍 We looked all through the Natural World section, Rudy particularly loved the dinosaurs and spent the whole time roaring! I was so surprised he wasn’t scared as I remember them scaring my little brother when we were small! Lol! 🤍
🖤 FEATURES:
A walk through time
Dinosaurs
Animals etc (all stuffed)
Cafe
Safe walk/run through for toddlers and prams
🤍 £ - FREE …. A £5 donation is suggested as seen in the reel in what Rudy thought was a giant ball!
🖤 I love nothing more than to see your little ones engaging with A Message To You’s products. Mummy wanted to introduce some fun into her little girls routine as she was already responding very well to tummy time at 11 weeks old! Thank you so much for sharing this with me of your beautiful little girl 🖤
🤍 Baby Eva here is loving her black and white sensory cards, 4 cards come in each Black and White Sensory box with 8 different images. 🤍
🖤 Cards can be sold separately. Each Black and White Sensory box is £22. Please DM to order. 🖤
SENSORY FOIL BLANKET
🖤🤍 This sensory foil blanket was always my go to if I ever needed 10 mins to myself when Rudy was smaller, he had CMPA and it took us a really long time to get his milk correct so he was a very clingy restless baby and I barely had anytime to do anything. This blanket used to hold his attention long enough for me to have a coffee and admire him from a far. He loved the sound, the bouncing lights and just kicking himself all over the place! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 Each Black and White Sensory Box comes with one of these sensory foil blankets. Please DM to order. 🤍🖤
🤍❤️HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FROM ME AND MINE TO YOU AND YOURS ❤️🤍
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS THE GRUFFALO 🖤
🤍 We all had the best time at the Gruffalo Trail Mountain View Ranch!
🖤You are given a ranch map and follow it to discover many things along the way, you also stamp it at various stations like a treasure hunt… I think my partner and I had just as much fun doing this as children! I imagine if Rudy was older you could spend a full day there as there was so much to do for bigger children.
🖤 FEATURES:
Lots of places to explore.
Animals.
Slide, swings and a jumping pillow.
Maze.
Play area.
The gruffalo and all the stories favourites.
The pizza was great!!!
🤍 £
Adults £8
Children (2-16) £8
Infants free
BEWARE OF THE SANDWICH THEIF!!!!!
🤍 You can’t see here but in my little ones hand is a sandwich, shortly after this picture was taken he was surrounded by geese and one stole it… bad Mum alert but I T W A S H I L A R I O U S!!!!
🖤 Such a lovely walk around the castle well worth the visit, the castle and the grounds are beautiful… a little pit stop in Gregg’s for coffees, sausage rolls and doughnuts was a must too!
ITS A MESSAGE TO YOU’S 1ST BIRTHDAY!!!!
🎂 A year ago today I launched and I’ve not looked back. Now not only am I selling beautiful sensory products but providing play ideas and ideas for places to visit!
🎈 I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me and also everyone who has purchased a box (or 5 in some people’s cases!!!!)
🎉 The future looks bright with lots more ideas coming from this end, watch this space!!!
Love,
Sarah xx
WISHING EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ME AND MY LITTLE STAR 🤍
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 🎅🏼
🖤🤍 I had to post this review of the Black and White Sensory Box on my feed, it’s messages like this that are the best present for me not just at Christmas but all year around. 🤍🖤
PUTTING LIDS BACK ON AND OFF…
🤍 My little star came up with his own play idea this week! Does anyone else’s toddler just want to put lids on and off things?! Well this is the simplest idea completely by accident as this carton was taken out of the recycling and played with for a week! 🤍
🖤 He loved screwing this carton lid on and off all week which was great for his hand eye coordination and his pincer grip! 🖤
🤍 SOMETIMES ITS IS THE SIMPLEST THINGS THAT KEEP THEM STIMUALTED AND HELP THEM LEARN 🤍
PLAYWORKS THE MEADOWS…
🖤🤍 As I posted this weekend, I can’t recommend this place enough… all ages little stars will love getting up close to the full range of farm animals and some added extras like meerkats and raccoons… the food in the cafe is lovely and so are the staff. 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 FULL INFO WITH FEATURES AND PRICES IN MY HIGHLIGHTS SECTION “OUTDOOR VISITS.”
I LOVE SEEING LITTLE STARS ENJOYING PRODUCTS 🤍
🖤🤍 Thank you to Mummy for sharing these with me, I’m so glad your little star loves his box 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 This sensory foil blanket was always my go to if I ever needed 10 mins to myself when my little star was smaller, he has CMPA and it took us a really long time to get his milk correct so he was a very clingy restless baby and I barely had anytime to do anything. This blanket used to hold his attention long enough for me to have a coffee and admire him from a far. He loved the sound, the bouncing lights and just kicking himself all over the place! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 This sensory foil blanket is available in every Black and White Sensory Box which are £22 each. Please DM to order. 🤍🖤
HIDE THE XMAS BAUBLES🎄
🎄🤍 We had lots of fun doing this one, I hid 4 baubles around the living room as asked my little star to find them… this can quite easily be adapted for smaller children by asking them to find one big ornament or bigger children lots of smaller ones. 🤍🌲
🎄🖤 I remember I used to love playing this at my Nan’s house and we would call it the “hot and cold game” saying “brrr cold” if I was far away from finding and item or “h-h-HOT” if I was near! 🖤🎄
🎄🤍 This game is great exercise for little ones and also reinforces object permanence and Ive read that it can therefore minimise separation anxiety. When they get bigger I’m sure he will also love to find the best hiding place for me to find! 🤍🎄
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS IMAGE 🖤
🖤🤍 I took this picture back in May at one of our go to places for a walk, play area and a coffee… Victoria Park. It was actually our go to place for a walk before we were parents! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 It also has a splash pad in the Summer… for full features please see my highlights section “Outdoor Visits” there are many other places to visit here too. 🤍🖤
1ST STALL SET UP 🖤
🖤🤍 This was my 1st ever stall set up at the amazing last week. 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 Very excited that both Black and White and Rainbow Sensory boxes will now be sold at The Little Role Play Town… I can’t wait to go back there with my little star, it is so well thought out and looks like so much for for little ones!!! Full reel as usual to follow that! 🤍🖤
MONEY BOX POST 🤍
🖤🤍 We have been really busy this week so this was something I used to keep my little star quiet for a little while, while I did my make AND IT WORKED!!!! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 This is so easy and yet affective, their hand eye coordination is key here and they are also working on their fine motor skills. 🤍🖤

DEVELOP FINE MOTOR SKILLS AT SNACK TIME…

🤍 Fine motor skills.
🤍 Search and find.
🤍 Concentration.
METHOD:

🖤 Cover each one with post it note and just let them explore and find them!
🖤🤍 I’d love to know how you get on with this one! Share the love and tag 🤍🖤
SWIMMING WITHOUT STRESS:
🖤🤍 Failing to prepare is preparing to fail when it comes to swimming with your little star, especially if you have to be on time for a class. I know I’m not the only one who finds the whole thing stressful after chatting to friends and Mums in the changing rooms. 🤍🖤
🖤 Here is my fool and fail proof method to making swimming a fun experience for all:
💧 Packing your bag:
2 WASH BAGS - If you are going regularly or for swimming lesson I have all toiletries for myself and Rudy (I also put in a small cup to wash his mop of hair!) all prepacked and ready to go so I don’t have to do this every time… the key is 2 have 2 wash bags 1 with things you’ll need in the shower and 2 of things you’ll need when you get out of the shower…
A TOWEL EACH
CLOTHES FOR WHEN YOU GET OUT
NORMAL BABY CHANGING BAG
SNACKS + WATER/ WARM MILK FOR SMALLER BABIES
TOYS
SWIMMING NAPPIES
FLOATS / ARMBANDS ETC
💧 Arrive early:
Pick your locker near to where you feel will be best to get ready for example if there is a play pen you’re going to want to be near this… unpack everything before you swim and put in in the locker so you can see everything, so when you are both wet and cold you’re not faffing looking for things!
💧 To the pool….
Here I take both towels and the wash bag with the shower things in, this way you can wrap up and go straight to the shower as soon as you are done.
💧 Shower….
Shower with baby in arms or depending how old they are make sure they’re warm but they can stand/sit on the floor, wash them and you’re done!
💧 To get ready…
Always get baby ready and dry 1st and bribe with snacks if needs be while you get yourself ready! I can’t stress how much snacks can make a difference to you getting yourself sorted!!!
🖤🤍 We have been going to the amazing since Rudy was little 🐢 Here are some other classes in South Wales:
Stingrays
They also do lessons
🖤🤍 Really hope this helps! Please share with anyone you think will need this to make swimming a lovely experience and time spent with your little stars. 🖤
DIZZY WITH EXCITEMENT 🖤
🖤🤍 I absolutely love packing deliveries!!! Getting all these sorted before another exciting meeting today! 🤍🖤
