By metropolitanmama | March 18, 2008
Alycia Shapiro began SensoryEdge, an online shop “dedicated to providing great kids products at super competitive prices,” in 2003 after she realized that her son had a speech disorder and sensory integration issues. She began by offering educational toys and therapy based kids products and has since expanded her line to include “child size table and chair sets, carpeting, and other items that fit in schools, homes, daycares and lobbies.”
Some of my favorite items in her shop are:
the Decorative Wood Letters in Pastel and Primary Colors
the great selection of Upholstered Kids Furniture and…
SensoryEdge products are hand-selected by a mom - and it’s always great to support moms who have the tenacity to run and maintain a business. Go check out Alycia’s website…

My girls would love the Deluxe Cooking Toy Set for Kids. I like the tea kettle the most, so sweet

This would make my mom (the soon to be, dietician grandmom!) verrrry happy. Teaching kids about food (esp the ones they like to refuse to eat, for no good reason) is her specialty. I can see her spending hours with our kids, playing with their vegetable basket and teaching them all about the delicious world of healthy food!
Thanks,

I would love the vegetable basket. There are so many activities that it can be used for like categorizing colors and teaching about healthy food. Thanks! katebeth45 (at) gmail

What a great way to help little ones learn. It’s always fun to watch my daughter play with something that I never thought would be as fascinating as she finds it. I need to do better at looking at our world from her perspective so I can provide more opportunities and objects for her to learn from.

Since Benjamin’s favorite movie is Ratatouille and we “make it” regularly, he would love the Deluxe Cooking Toys for kids! I would love it too to keep them both away from the stove when I’m cooking.
Thanks for the contest.

Ooh, we have a little play kitchen and food and T would LOVE the cooking set to add to her collection! She puts on her apron and cooks and bakes for us. I hope that will translate to actual cooking when she’s older; give a mama a break every so often!

These are so cute! The food basket would be lots of fun, but the puzzle is so cool! I love how it is curved at the bottom–perfect to put on a little one’s lap (even if it will stay on the wiggly lap for only a moment!). My toddler has started getting into puzzles a lot. She is so excited when she fits the puzzle piece into the right slot. These are excellent learning tools for kids. I’d love to win, and thank you for hosting another FUN giveaway!

I love the little furniture, They did’nt have this for me when i was little. Just those little rocking chairs. This would be a great reading couch.

I remember cooking with pretend food and kitchen pots and pans. …Ah the memories
Its hard to find good quality stuff like that! I’d love to ‘cook’ with my little guy using the fabulous cooking set. (stainless steal!)

My daughter would love to win the deluxe cooking set. It would be perfect for her.

The wooden puzzle would be great. I’m trying to help my daughter recognize her letters.
March 20th, 2008 at 4:10 am
I think it would be fun to run my own business. I’m sure it’s a lot more work then I realize.
The shape puzzle would be wonderful to give to my niece who’s favorite activity lately is puzzles.

Besides helping me cook, their favorite thing to do is pretend cook. My son wants to be a chef and he’s only 3!

My girls would go nuts over the cooking set - I think it looks nicer than my own real ones!

What a great giveaway! I’ve never seen a shapes puzzle like that before! I really like it. Although, if I won, I would have to choose the cooking set. We’re trying to work on our domestic skills over here
I figure if I instill it in my boys now, their wives will LOVE me later! LOL

The Food Basket is great. You could use it to sort shapes, size colors not to mention teach about the different tastes, textures and values of veggies. I would also love to be able to explain to my little girl how each type of vegetable grows because she has started to show interest in how things are made/created and where they come from.

my girls would love the deluxe cooking set

I love the products featured on SensoryEdge. I bookmarked her site for birthday and Christmas gifts. Please enter me in your contest. My 2 year old grandaughter would love the play food.

I have a little 2 year old princess. And I know she would love having some furniture of her own. She has 3 big brothers and 1 little brother. The 3 older ones really spoil her and with being the only girl she really needs some more girly things
Thanks,
Mommy of 5
