How to Create a Sensory Soft Play Zone for Toddlers

Want to create an inviting space for your littlest guests? Sensory soft play setups are perfect for baby birthdays, toddler groups, and quieter corners of bigger parties.

1. Use Textured Mats & Shapes
Foam mats in different colours and textures help stimulate visual and tactile senses.

2. Include a Ball Pit
Great for movement, balance, and fun! Add soft balls of different sizes and colours.

3. Add Soft Climbers
Mini ramps and shapes help toddlers develop gross motor skills as they explore.

4. Light & Sound Toys
Consider placing a few light-up toys or gentle sensory lights to hold their attention.

5. Keep It Safe & Contained
Use soft fencing or walls to define the play area, and always supervise with at least one adult nearby.

Soft play isn’t just for fun — it supports physical and cognitive development too!
