Why it works
Built on real child-development science.
"Sensory play is one of the most powerful tools we have for early language development."
Brady, SLP
Fine Motor Skills
Scooping, pinching, pouring. The small movements that build the hands kids will one day write with.
Language Development
New textures and tiny objects give kids something to talk about. Prompt cards give caregivers the words to model.
Cognitive Skills
Sorting, sequencing, pretending. Sensory bins quietly grow problem-solving and imagination at the same time.
Social-Emotional Skills
One bin, many hands. Shared play builds turn-taking, cooperation, and a calm way to regulate big feelings.

About Brady
Made by a mom and a speech therapist. Because your kid deserves both.
I'm Brady. I'm a certified Speech-Language Pathologist, an Indiana mom to my sweet Sage, and the maker behind every Talking Tots kit. I started this little business at my kitchen table after years of watching kids light up when play meets purpose.
Every bin, bag, and jar is built with the same care I'd give a kit for my own daughter, using the same developmental tools I reach for in therapy sessions.
We got our first Talking Tots sensory bin and as someone who works in a world of sensory toys and kids, this was a home run. My daughter is two and it held her attention longer than most things!

I love that every item was chosen with my son's development in mind. The activity cards are genius.

The Tiny Talkers Busy Bag was the most unique, thoughtful baby shower gift there. The parent language guide is worth it alone.

A kit made exactly for your child.
Brady's favorite part of this job is making something one-of-a-kind. Birthday bin, baby shower gift, classroom favor, party keepsake. If you can dream it, she can build it.
Talking Tots Sensory Co. started with a need I couldn't find answered anywhere else. As a mom to my daughter Sage, I was looking for sensory products that were more than just pretty. I wanted bins that actually did something. Bins that built her vocabulary, her fine motor skills, her ability to self-regulate. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I had a pretty good idea what those products should look like. So I started making them myself.
Why SLP-designed matters.
There are a lot of sensory products out there, but most are designed to look good, not to work well. When I build a kit, I choose every element on purpose. The texture, the tools, the direction cards, the language prompts, all based on what I know helps kids build skills. Every kit comes with an activity handout that gives you, the caregiver, the words to say and the prompts to use. You don't have to be an SLP to give your child SLP-level play.
