The Timeless Power of Sensory Play: A Grandmother’s Journey with Baby Paper

Hi, I’m Sari—creator of Baby Paper, mom of two, and very proud grandma.

When I first became a mom, there were no apps or AI toys—just a lot of watching our babies explore the world one curious crinkle at a time. I still remember the moment: sitting in a restaurant, my baby completely transfixed by the sound of a paper napkin. That crunchy, crackly magic sparked the idea for Baby Paper.

I wanted something safe, soft, and sensory-rich—something made just for tiny hands and growing brains. And guess what? The science backs it up.

Babies learn through their senses. Every squeeze, squish, crinkle, and drool-covered nibble helps build neural pathways in their developing brains. Sensory play isn’t just fun—it’s foundational. It helps babies connect sound with motion, texture with touch, action with reaction. It's how they start to make sense of the world.

That’s where Baby Paper comes in. It’s simple. It’s soothing. And it just works. No lights. No batteries. Just a crinkle that delivers sensory satisfaction every single time.

Now that I’m a grandma, I get to see it all over again—those wide eyes, that curious grip, that spark of delight. And it reminds me: the best toys aren’t always the flashiest. They’re the ones that feel good, sound good, and invite little ones to slow down, explore, and play.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, or anyone who loves a baby—welcome to the Baby Paper family. I hope our crinkly little squares bring just as much joy to your home as they have to mine.

With love and a whole lot of crinkle,
Sari
