Boutique Products You Won’t Find on the High Street


We offer handcrafted and curated sensory products that support open-ended play at home or in learning environments.​ 

 

From homemade sensory bases and loose parts to unique play tools and themed activity boxes, our products are designed to inspire imagination and independence. Many are made in-house, with natural textures and materials that feel good in little hands.

 

Whether you’re just starting out with sensory play or looking for something truly original, we have everything you need to support development through play — in a way that feels magical, not mass-produced.

Play Sessions

Play Sessions That Inspire Connection

Weekly sessions filled with wonder, calm, and creativity.
Join us in person for sensory-rich, child-led play experiences that are just as much for the grown-ups as the little ones.

 

Our play sessions are thoughtfully designed to encourage connection, exploration, and calm — whether it’s babies discovering textures or toddlers diving into themed Tuff Tray setups. Held weekly in beautiful venues across Dubai, these sessions are more than just play: they’re mini moments of community and creativity for families seeking mindful time together.

 

All ages welcome, always unplugged.

Why The Child Unplugged

Reclaiming Childhood Through Unplugged Play

Modern childhood is often filled with screens, schedules, and overstimulation. The Child Unplugged is about slowing down and giving children space to explore, imagine, and just be kids. Through intentional, unplugged play, children reconnect with nature, materials, and themselves.

Encouraging Creativity Over Consumption

Instead of passive entertainment, this approach celebrates hands-on, open-ended play. It’s about empowering children to be creators, problem-solvers, and storytellers—not just consumers of digital content or pre-set toys.

Promotes Focus and
Independence

Unplugged play helps children strengthen their attention span and ability to concentrate without constant digital stimulation. They learn to entertain themselves, make choices, and follow their curiosity, which boosts independence and self-confidence.
