Product Reviews by Experts


They were very cute and kid friendly, easy for small hands to navigate and fun to use. I LOVE their ethical stance of giving back to the community that has helped produce these beautiful objects. That they give half their profits to education for the producers children is exactly what a conscious brand in 2025 should be about!


These are absolutely gorgeous and built in a way that is perfectly designed for the age group they’re intended for. Such a delightful gift idea also. I love the natural materials and natural feel. I also love the sustainable, eco materials and their social initiatives to give back.


I really like the different textures and fun colours of these sensory brushes. My 1 year old loves to play with the bristles. So much fun! I think it’s great that these products are made in Sri Lanka with 50% (such a huge portion!) of profits going to English education.
